error: serial: Error opening the interface: The system cannot find the file specified.

[Odette.Denis]

Hi,

 

I have Octave GNU 5.1.0 and I’m having some problem to communicate with a serial port.

In the code, I do:

 

pkg list

pkg load instrument-control

pkg list

which serial

s = serial('COM11', 115200)

 

On the Command window, I can read a table of packages

൩Package Name         | Version | Installation directory

In particular,

instrument-control *|   0.3.1 | ...\mingw64\share\octave\packages\instrument-control-0.3.1

'serial' is a function from the file C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\lib\octave\packages\instrument-cont

rol-0.3.1\x86_64-w64-mingw32-api-v53\serial.oct

but, after s = serial('COM11', 115200),  I have:

error: serial: Error opening the interface: The system cannot find the file specified.

 

Can you please help with that? What am I missing? Thanks a lot for your support

 

Regards

Odette
