Hello

 

I'm using an Arduino for Rumble Motors, Recently I updated Simhub and since then no matter what I do my Arduino is detected as "Already In Use" within simhub, Normally a computer restart fixes issues like this but this hasn't worked. 

 

So far I've tried:

- Plugging into a different USB Port

- Changing Windows COM port assignment

- Uninstalling & Reinstalling Simhub

 

Help me 🙁

Hi ! "Already in use" is something happening at windows level, that's why reinstalling simhub won't help at all. Unfortunately windows does not report which software is using a serial port so it's a game of tracking down which software do it. I would try to eliminate as many processes as possible in task manager until it's free .

 

Last clue if your Arduino has been programmed a long time ago you probably need to update the sketch (see red warning on top of the download page: https://www.simhubdash.com/download-2/)

To update the sketch it's a matter of a few clicks : https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/Arduino--Setup
