Com Port Issues

Com ports are showing up as "in use" in device manager

To fix this, use the following steps:

  1. In an elevated command prompt:
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
devmgmt.msc
  1. Device Manager → View ▶ Show hidden devices → Ports.
  2. Right-click every greyed-out “(COM xx)” entry and choose Uninstall to free the number. Also uninstall the COM port used by the PinOne board.
  3. Reboot and retry.
