Flora can't open device, access is denied

Post by Vulkan52 »

Hello, i just buyed a Flora and tried to connect to arduino ide, but it gives me an error. "avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM8": Access is denied." The flora is on device manager in port 6, the ide says it's on 6 as well, but when i press upload, it gives me that error. I tried a lot of usb cables but it's the same. When i connect the flora to usb the led pwr is on, #7 blinks and RX blinks 2 seconds and then goes off. The flora is On.

This is under Tools -> Port in the Arduino IDE?

Yes, I installed drivers and everything, if I try in other computer it connects as a mouse?? or something like that, cuz it deactivates the touchpad on the notebook

Try this trick:

The FLORA uses a 32u4. So same general recover procedure applies.

This is what it gives me, no com port searching, and after a few tries, the second one.

Getting the "Access denied" message typically indicates some other software is interfering and trying to take the COM port.

What operating system is running on the two machines tested?

Excellent. Good job finding the culprit. Sometimes it can be really tricky tracking down what is doing the interfering. Glad you got it all working now.
