Failed to open serial port COM3 to communicate with board Uno.

Encounter this error when i tried to connect my arduino board with my matlab :Failed to open serial port COM3 to communicate with board Uno. Make sure there is no other MATLAB arduino object for this board. For troubleshooting, see Arduino Hardware Troubleshooting.

Can anyone solve this?

[Madhu Govindarajan]

Have you confirmed that the board is indeed on that port if not have you tried mentioning the port explicitly?

Please provide us the exact code.

[ABHISHEK MAURYA]

before starting the serial communication you should properly check that serial port is free so write--->

clc;

    if ~isempty(instrfind)
     fclose(instrfind);
      delete(instrfind);
end

Failed to open serial port COM3 to communicate with board Uno. Make sure there is no other MATLAB arduino object for this board. For troubleshooting, see Arduino Hardware Troubleshooting.

this is the error message i get

[PRAPTI GANGULY]

I got the same error message. Make sure there is no other object in the workspace. type 'clear' to clear the workspace and then try running the code.

[Yehia Khalifa]

Same issue here. Any solution?

[dany sandoval]

yes, i finded a solution: first: clear a ('a' it´s a object to clear) second: if ~isempty(instrfind) fclose(instrfind); delete(instrfind); end If the port is open, close the port and delete the state

Hi Everyone,

I recently started the Arduino engineering kit and ran into this problem. It ended up being the driver. I never opened the Arduino IDE while connected to the Arduino33 Iot. Once this is done, the driver download is suggested. After I downloaded that I got the simulink model to run with default host-board connection settings, except the serial comms baudrate which is 9600 and external mode communication interface set to Serial.

Hope this helps
