serial not working

Post by chroos » Fri Nov 13, 2009 7:18 pm

When i put a [serial] inside M4L, i dont get any output. When i open the editor, i get the message, the serial port is already opened.

Could anybody use [serial] ?

Works fine for us. Maybe you have another app using the port.

You will need to close the serial port in Live before opening it in the editor, and vice versa. Serial ports won't let you connect from multiple applications. Luckily a "close" message works pretty well for that.

Best,
