Hi everyone, I’m learning about programs. While working, I try to upload code to my Arduino. As a result, I get the message:

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM3": Access is denied

What can I do about the “avrdude: ser_open(): can’t open device “\\.\com3”: Access is denied” issue? Is there a better approach?

can't open device

    The cause: This error happens because when you are attempting to run USB script or the Arduino program, there is something else uses COM3. Solution: If you are using Linux, you only need to place current user in “dialout” group which all members are permitted to access ports. Let’s run as following:

    sudo adduser yourUserName dialout
    

    Then log in and log out again to take effect.

    Common error? Here’s the solution:

    1 – Unplug Arduino

    2 – Upload code without Arduino connected to the PC

    3 – Reconnect Arduino

    4 – Upload code for the Arduino

    Best of luck!
