Hi,
I wanted to do some testing on win XP with the firmata firmware and the pduino patch The arduino worked fine several times before. Not sure it has something to do with it but the arduino now appears on COM10 instead of a lower port number, like it did before. Arduino programmer connects to it without problem so I can upload the firmware. But before, when the portnumber was lower, I could connect to it from pd too. pd/pduino now for example also connects to COM4, without any error message, although that's not where the arduino is. I cannot choose which com port arduino appears on. I try to open COM10, because that's where arduino programmer connects to arduino, as I can select in the Tools menu. in pd I get: comport open 10, baud 0 not valid (args: [portnum] [baud])
Not sure because you have an older version of comport but it could be that COM10 is port 9 for your comport. Also it's telling you to create the comport with two arguments: try [comport 9 9600]. Better to use the version in cvs which lets you send a [devices( message to get a list of the actual serial ports. I can send you the dll if you're not into compiling. Martin
sending |baud 9600( to comport doesn't help restarting computer doesn't help connecting to different usb port doesn't change anything.
it's comport.dll from http://idmi.poly.edu/pdlab/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5.exe
also tried removing/changing some registry keys (renamed COM10 to COM5, removed COM4) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>SERIALCOMM after disconnecting and reconnecting the arduino, \Device\VCP0 REG_SZ COM10 appears again in regedit how can I change COM10 to some lower port number? (because I remeber when it worked it had lower port numbers, or is that superstition ?...)
thanks Tim
