Serial Port Problem "Error opening serial port COM1: Port not found"

GenisiusH

Hello guys, I am a student who is working on my bachelor thesis.

I am dealing with stepper motors and the controller using Arduino, and I am creating a GUI for my stepper motor to control it. I try Processing, and it seems simple and powerful enough.

However, I encountered a problem when I am running Processing program. "Error opening serial port COM1: Port not found"

I use Ubuntu OS 14.04, Processing 2.2.1, and Arduino IDE 1.0.5.

This problem appeared as soon as I run my processing code, right after I uploaded my Arduino code.

Anybody can help to fix this issue?

Thanks very much! :)

Are you sure Ubuntu OS represents USB ports using "COM" notation.? I remember using "/dev/ttyS0" ... Anyway, Connect your Arduino and run this code:

import processing.serial.*;
Serial myPort;
void setup(){
String portName[] = Serial.list();
println(portName);
}

In your Processing console you will see the all connected USB ports find the Arduino's and paste it instead of COM1. If there are many ports : check(run) the console when arduino is connected and check(run) it when it is not connected... the missing port should be arduino's.

I got it! Solved my problem. The address is /dev/ttyACM0.

Thank you very much.... :)

Not related to Developing Processing (you don't compile it yourself, are you?), so I move the topic.
