Error opening port /dev/ttyS0 - WinXP

Hi there,

perhaps you can help me with my problem with the RepRap Software.

But first to the System:

- Sanguino
- USB to TTL calble --> listet as COM3 in WinXP
- Intel Atom board
- WinXP pro SP2


Software:
- Latest JRE V 6U12
- sanguino-software-1.4-r1
- reprap-host-windows-20081218
- arduino-0013-win
- Connection and upload with the Arduino Software works!


If I try to boot up the RepRap Software it gives me a failure

>>> Error opening port /dev/ttyS0 <<<
The Sanguino is connected via the USB to TTL Cable

so I changed the config file of the software that it tries to open /dev/COM3 but this does not work


Could you give me a hint to get it working?



Big thanks for replies!
Alex

I believe you need to put in the COM3 without the /dev/. That's how it worked for my arduino, anyway.

Thanks Corwin!

I will give it a try with >>> Port(name)=COM3

worked!
