Could not connect to COM3 at baudrate 115200:
Serial error: could not open port ‘COM3’: FileNotFoundError(2, ‘The system cannot find the file specified.’, None, 2)
the only thing that has changed is the computer the one i was using crashed now using windows 10 64bit would this be causing my problem any ideas would be appreciated
changed the usb cable
changed computer but still windows 10
changed the com port
changed the com port number
In Device Manager, under Ports it should tell you what COM ports you have. If it’s a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, it didn’t recognize the device.
i guess i figured it out i uninstalled repetier host server and it started working not sure if that was it or what just glad it is working now thanks for all the help
Yes, Repetitier host grabs control of the serial port by default and prevents other applications from accessing it. Removing Repetier Host from your computer will free the port up for other programs to access it.
