Serial Port Problem - doesnt communicate between applications
Hi !
So I'm currently having a problem with my new pc who seems to be unable to use two applications communicating by the same port.
I am not a programmer or anything like that, I'm just an artist who's doing some project using Arduino and Max MSP.
Usually, I would be able to send data from Max MSP to Arduino or from Arduino to Max MSP. I never had any issue with my old pc. However, with this new one, I cannot use the two applications at the same time. I can programm the Arduino to receive some data from Max, but I cannot open the appliction and look at the Serial Monitor what have been sent. And when programming, well I can only open one at the time cuz the other will send an error message.
I tried a serial splitter online (FabulaTech), but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone can help me with that ? What am I missing ?
I'm surprised you were able to connect to the same serial port with two applications on your old PC.
I thought it was a given that you can't have more than one app using the serial port at a time. At least that's the case with my 2012 and 2021 macbooks.
Well the second application in simply the Arduino application.
Like shown in this video :
I want to be able to see what is written in the serial monitor, but I cant
For me, the Arduino apps always been blocked by Max, and vice-versa.
hence this note I added to my patch:
nothing to do with max.
2 apps -> same serial port -> no way
with some rare configurations it might kind of work, but don't count on it.
Hi!
I had a similar situation yesterday and was having trouble.
I was able to confirm that if I complete the write from the Arduino and drop the Arduino application, I receive the values from Max via serial communication.
I knew that opening the serial monitor interrupts the serial communication with Max, but since when do I have to drop the application as well... I feel inconvenienced!
hello,
I'm struggling a lot with serial object. I opened an old project of mine to run emg sensor data to max from arduino, and now I can't connect to the specific port as I used to back in the days. I'm running out of ideas about how to sort this issue out. Besides upgrading to max9, I also update OS since then.
Here's a short about what I did in 2022.
any ideas?
best,
I am not watching any yout tube stuff.
Post your details if you want help.
emg sensor means nothing
what OS, what arduino ?
