Hi, On Windows7 with Rebol/view-278-3-1: I am trying to open a serial port with this command: p: open/no-wait serial://port1/9600/8/none/1 When my device in on com9 >> system/ports/serial == [com9] it's working, the port opens If my device is on a com > 9, for example com11, I have this error: >> p: open/no-wait serial://port1/9600/8/none/1 ** Access Error: Cannot open com11 ** Near: p: open/no-wait serial://port1/9600/8/none/ Any advice? Thx | |

Trying by adding this code line before you open the port:append system/ports/serial 'com11 HTH. | |

Thx for your reply but not sure to understand. Here are my complete procedures: Device on com9: >> clear system/ports/serial == [] >> append system/ports/serial 'com9 == [com9] >> system/ports/serial == [com9] >> p: open/no-wait serial://port1/9600/8/none/1 >> close p >> Now when I switched the device to com11 or any com>9: >> clear system/ports/serial == [] >> append system/ports/serial 'com11 == [com11] >> system/ports/serial == [com11] >> p: open/no-wait serial://port1/9600/8/none/1 ** Access Error: Cannot open com11 ** Near: p: open/no-wait serial://port1/9600/8/none/1 >> Am I missing something with com > 9? | |

Are you doing all that in the same REBOL console session? Does it work if you start your test sequence by first using COM11 then COM9? | |

Yes, I am doing these in the same REBOL session. Coms superior to 9 never open even if I start with it. | |

Hi There is a bug in rebol view : port >= 10 are not recognized. I had the same problem some years ago and the only way I found was to use port < 10 Regards | |
