Serial port 'COM3' already in use
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 6:54 pm
Hello all. I have gotten down how to upload code to my RA. However, I was uploading some code from the wizard and it did not finish loading after over 10 minutes. I figured something had gone wrong and I hit the "quit" option in the
Arduino menu. I tried uploading it again a few minutes later after having powered down and I get a:
"serial port 'COM3' already in use. Try quitting any programs that may be using it"
How do I fix this? Everything had been working fine before this. How do I quit from another program when the only place I am running it is from the Arduino screen? I have been using COM3 all along as well so that can't be it.
