QSerialPort wont open connection

shokarta

Hello all,

from the documentation of the device i know the port im looking for is COM3, also I know all the settings to be made (BaudRate, DataBits, Parity etc).

So first I tried to check if the COM3 realy exists, so i tried:

void LED::getSerial()
{
    qDebug() << "start";
    const auto infos = QSerialPortInfo::availablePorts();
    qDebug() << "Amount of COM Ports:" << infos.count();
    for (const QSerialPortInfo &info : infos) {
        qDebug() << "Port:" << info.portName() << "// Location:"  << info.systemLocation() << "// Manufacturer:"  << info.manufacturer() << "// Serial number:"  << info.serialNumber() << "// Vendor Identifier:"  << (info.hasVendorIdentifier() ? QString::number(info.vendorIdentifier(), 16) : QString()) << "// Product Identifier:"  << (info.hasProductIdentifier() ? QString::number(info.productIdentifier(), 16) : QString()) << "// Busy:" << info.isBusy();
    }
    qDebug() << "end";
}

which gave me:

Debug: start
Debug: Amount of COM Ports: 3
Debug: Port: "COM1" // Location: "\\\\.\\COM1" // Manufacturer: "(Standardn� typy port�)" // Serial number: "" // Vendor Identifier: "" // Product Identifier: "" // Busy: false
Debug: Port: "COM3" // Location: "\\\\.\\COM3" // Manufacturer: "(Standardn� typy port�)" // Serial number: "" // Vendor Identifier: "" // Product Identifier: "" // Busy: true
Debug: Port: "COM14" // Location: "\\\\.\\COM14" // Manufacturer: "(Standardn� typy port�)" // Serial number: "" // Vendor Identifier: "" // Product Identifier: "" // Busy: false
Debug: end

so I see COM3 is fine, so I tried to open with:

#include <QSerialPort>
#include <QSerialPortInfo>
#include <QDataStream>
#include <QtSerialPort/QSerialPort>

void LED::testConn()
{
    QSerialPort m_serial;
    m_serial.setPortName("COM3");
    if (!m_serial.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite)) {
        qDebug() << "Can not open the" << m_port << "port";
    } else {
        qDebug() << "COM port opened";
    }
 
    if (!m_serial.setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud9600))
        qDebug() << "Could not set baud rate";
    if (!m_serial.setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8))
        qDebug() << "Could not set data bits number";
    if (!m_serial.setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity))
        qDebug() << "Could not set parity check option";
    if (!m_serial.setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop))
        qDebug() << "Could not set stop bits";
//    if (!m_serial.setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl))
//        qDebug() << "Could not set flow control mode";
}

and i only have the result:

Debug: Can not open the "COM3" port

what do I do wrong?
Is there anything I can debug why it wont open connection?

Is there a way to print an errornote why it wont connect?

Did you look at the doc page before asking this, searching for error? How did you find QSerialPort::SerialPortError error() const worked for you?

Busy: true
so I see COM3 is fine

Seriously?

When you enumerate the ports, it looks like your COM3 port is already in use somewhere else...
Are you sure no other application is using it?

its the LED light on tablet device, its always busy. its probably run on some service app from microsoft which is not able to be stopped.
Are we surtain that because of this it can not be connected?
