RE: error: serial: Error opening the interface: The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi Andreas,

Full path works fine for lower than COM9. I just tried with s = 
serial("\\\\.\\COM6");
So the general rule would be to use s = serial("\\\\.\\COMxx");

Thanks.
Regards
Odette

Hi Odette, thank you for the reply.
Perhaps it's worth to throw a warning on windoze in this case. Can you provide 
a patch?

Thank you, Andy
