I run windows 7 64 bit with picaxe editor v6. Until today i have been able to use and program my picaxe 18m2 project board without issues to experiment and test programs. I have now written a new one, and when i plug in the usb download cable and select com port 3 from the workspace explorer and try to download the code i receive the following message
Error: Can't open port COM3.
As far as i'm aware there have been no software changes so i am unsure why it is doing this. It shows up in device manager as a USB device. However when i go control panel -> view devices it shows the usb cable as a mouse which i am unsure why.
any help/guidance would be very much appreciated.
