Hi James,
It seems you are using a port that is not being detected by the CNCjs Software. I highly recommend you to try the following steps:
i) Close all the other softwares which are using the ports or have access to ports
ii) Replug the cnc
iii) Check if the usb cable is properly shielded
iv) Restart The Program

I hope it would work fine. If not try using the client version of cncjs.

Have you tried without rts/cts flow control?

[MitchBradley]

Also, do you have the CP210x USB-Serial driver installed on your laptop?

Ta Titik I have tried closing other ports – No luck there Unplugged and reconnected multiple times Restarted Both CNC and computer multiple times. I have had suggestion that the CPX210 driver may be the issue, so trying that now Thanks James Gibson Director 0427 290 323 aquawest.com.au<http://www.aquawest.com.au/> ***@***.*** From: Ipsum Coder ***@***.***> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2024 4:05 PM To: cncjs/cncjs ***@***.***> Cc: James Gibson ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [cncjs/cncjs] Connection to Com port (Issue #851) Hi James, It seems you are using a port that is not being detected by the CNCjs Software.
