Hello,

I have worked with the pduino patches before with a different Arduino and Solenoids but I have come back to it a year later and cannot get it working completely.

In the pduino-test patch I can pulse the outputs and my solenoid works fine, however in the test patch that I have modified I get this error...

'Write error, maybe TX-OVERRUNS on serial line
[comport]: Serial port is not open'

I have included the patch. Also I am using a Mega 2560 as opposed to the duemilanove I used last year.

I am probably missing something very simple, can anyone help?

Thanks!
Zeela

Hi Zeela!

Port number maybe? Or is it too simple?

I just don't understand what that error refers to in the patch, I am confused!

Port number was my first thought because I've experienced such error in the past, and, if I remember well, it was related to a port number mismatch. Try to change the [open 3( message in your patch. Good luck!

You're a life saver, so simple, thank you so much!
