thank you!

hey when i try to access the serial monitor it give me an error in the serial monitor that say port monitor error: command 'open' failed: invalid serial port. could not coonect to COM6 serial port

Hi @yakir_sagzan.

There were some previous reports of this "Port monitor error: command 'open' failed: Invalid serial port. Could not connect to COM_n_ serial port." error occurring specifically when Serial Monitor is opened in Arduino IDE while the port of a board that uses the WCH CH340 USB chip (and apparently only specific batches of those chips). The problem only occurs when using the latest version of the CH340 driver.

This is associated with the problem of getting "can't set com-state for ..." error message during upload as you reported earlier in the thread.

The affected users have reported that doing a "roll back" to an older version of the driver was an effective workaround. You can give that a try.

I'll provide instructions:

Open this tutorial from SparkFun in your browser:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ch340-drivers/all#drivers-if-you-need-them
ⓘ We are using this tutorial as a source for an older version of the CH340 drivers. Generally I recommend only obtaining drivers from the manufacturer of the device, but WCH does not provide older versions of their drivers and SparkFun is trustworthy.
Click the "Windows (EXE)" link you see in red under the "Drivers (If You Need Them)" section of the tutorial.
Wait for the download to finish.
Run the downloaded CH341SER.EXE file.
A "User Account Control" dialog may now appear asking "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?". Click the "Yes" button.
A "DriverSetup(X64)" dialog will appear. Click the "INSTALL" button in the dialog.
Wait for the driver installation to finish, as indicated by the appearance of a "Driver install success!" dialog.
Click the "OK" button in the "Driver install success!" dialog.
Click the X icon at the top right of the "DriverSetup(X64)" dialog to close it.
Close Arduino IDE if it is running.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Open the Windows Device Manager.
Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
Open the "View" menu.
If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
Open the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of the Device Manager tree.
You should see a port identified as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section (where "COMn" is some serial port e.g., COM4). Double click on that item.
The "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog will open.
Select the "Drivers" tab of the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.
You will see a "Roll Back Driver" button in the dialog. If it is not clickable, perform the following instructions:
1. Click the "Update driver" button.
  An "Update Drivers Device - USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" dialog will open.
2. Click on "Search automatically for drivers" in the "Update Drivers Device - USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" dialog.
3. You should now see the driver installation wizard update the driver. Wait for the update to finish, as indicated by the message "Windows has successfully updated your drivers" in the dialog.
  It is possible you will instead see the message "The best drivers are already installed". If so, please stop following the instructions here and reply on the forum thread to let me know. I'll provide alternative instructions you can follow.
4. Click the "Close" button in the "Update Drivers Device - USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" dialog.
Click the "Roll Back Driver" button in the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.
The "Driver Package rollback" dialog will open.
Click the radio button next to "My apps don't work with this driver" in the "Driver Package rollback" dialog .
Click the "Yes" button.
Click the "Close" button in the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.

Now start Arduino IDE again and repeat whatever you were doing before when you encountered that error before. Hopefully this time you will not encounter that "Port monitor error: command 'open' failed: Invalid serial port. Could not connect to COM_n_ serial port." error or a "can't set com-state" error during the sketch upload.

hey, i try to update my driver(19) and it gives me the "The best drivers are already installed"

ptillisch · November 15, 2023, 9:35am

I'm going to ask you to provide some additional information that might help us to understand how to proceed.

Please do this:

Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Open the Windows Device Manager.
Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
Open the "View" menu.
If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
Open the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of the Device Manager tree.
You should see a port identified as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section (where "COMn" is some serial port e.g., COM4). Double click on that item.
The "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog will open.
Select the "Drivers" tab of the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.

Now please reply here on the forum thread to tell us the version number you saw after "Driver Version" field in that "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
