I am trying to connect MAX/MSP with arduino, but i continuously get the error (On MAX) "serial port not available".

1. Load "dimmer" example to arduino (and upload to board)

2. paste the MAX code that is commented inside this example in a new MAX patch (run)

but everything seems ok. (serial port=COM3, is a PC workstation plataform)

When i run "dimmer" with proccesing IDE, everything works fine.

The steps i did:
1. Load "dimmer" example to arduino (and upload to board)
2. paste the MAX code that is commented inside this example in a new MAX patch (run)

Is the [serial] object in Max being 'polled', by a [metro] which needs initialized - toggle on? I believe you can also send the [serial] object a "print" message to view available ports; but the way I got my [serial] object to see the correct port (Vista/Intel/Athlon) was to send it (port a), (port b), (port c) etc messages, until I found the right one - but don't try this yourself until you get some more refined suggestions from the forum!

If i print a list of serial port available it prints "COM3". That's fine.

If a execute open serial port i get the error.

Oh, this patch doesn't need a [metro], sorry; change the "port a" message to "port c"
