SIM Reader Kit

Post by chillywilly »

@ hope bought the kit its 4am and finished soldering it all
i hooked up my at&t SIM card and when i use the windows app
and connect to the COM port i got this error

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pySimReader.py", line 267, in buttonConnectReader
  File "pySIMserial.pyc", line 111, in connectReader
  File "pySIMserial.pyc", line 143, in openSession
  File "serial\serialutil.pyc", line 166, in __init__
  File "serial\serialwin32.pyc", line 49, in open
serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port COM4: (5, 'CreateFile', 'Access is denied.')

any ideas?

"could not open port COM4: (5, 'CreateFile', 'Access is denied.') "

Is any other programm running, that uses this serial port?

So what was this different error? Are you sure the device is connected to the port the program is looking for?

yup it sounds like either you dont have a COM4 port or some other piece of software is trying to use it!
