when trying to blow the program ive just wrote flowcode cant seem to find the file? This comes up at the end of trying to blow it in.

avrdude can't open the serial port ( com6) to write the program.
Check that you have the correct port at in program options. No terminal access ( putty, teraterm etc)
Try restarting everything (pc and Arduino)

i have tried resetting flowcode and the PC but still nothing is loading to the chip. Where is the program option in flowcode to check.

Is your Arduino board USB detected by your PC? ...
Select the correct programmer port in Flowcode menu "Build->Project Options" ...

The Board is being detected and the program is using com6.

i have been uploading the program to a different uno and was working completely fine then when i use a different uno it has this problem.

A different Uno will be given a different comm port number by Windows
Please check Windows USB devices when the new board is connected to the PC

i tried a different uno, checked the devices and its coming up with com3 and also coming up with com3 in the project options. all connected but still not working.

Could you post the output error report for this one? e.g. the project.txt file
Are they Arduino boards, or clones? (Just checking they have bootloader firmware)
Could you try pressing reset on the Uno boards when programming starts?

the boards are genuine Arduino unos and what it is your wanting me to post?

to go over the problem would it be easier if i came to matrix in halifax with the laptop and uno? im only 20 minutes away?

please post "wheelchair circuit.msg.txt"

You are still trying com6 ?

when i plug in a different uno when i open device manager it shows com3 being used and the same in project options but comes up with that

Hi,
Just to check, do you only plug one Uno in at a time?
That is, don't connect more than one

yeah, only one uno is plugged in at a time.

Could you just check that you have default programmer settings ...

Hello James,

i tried a different uno, checked the devices and its coming up with com3 and also coming up with com3 in the project options. all connected but still not working.

When you select COM3 in the "Build -> Project Options" are you then clicking OK to save the new COM port selection? You may also want to save your project after doing this. Hopefully this should help.

This suggests you are still pointing to COM6.

avrdude.exe: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\com6": Access is denied.

If in doubt you can use the free Xloader or AVRdudess software to load your .hex files onto your Arduino.

i think that has solved it Ben, thankyou/
