I chose the correct COM port but it won't upload.

Arduino: 1.8.3 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Leonardo"

Sketch uses 5252 bytes (18%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 228 bytes (8%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2332 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.

  • You tagged the question "Arduino-Nano" but said you have a Leonardo. Which is it? Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 1:14
  • did you find anything on this? i have a similar issue with an arduino nano 33 ble sense. it reccently rrived from pihut, but i can send it back if its the device. The drivers are uptodate. dont have another micro-usb cable that is used for data transfer, as most of the cables only support power. if anone found the solution, please update me !!

  • I had the same problem. try checking the crystal on your arduino Commented Oct 23, 2023 at 6:07

This is the relevant bit in your error output:

Caused by: jssc.SerialPortException: Port name - COM4; Method name - openPort(); Exception type - Port busy.

Is your Leonardo on COM4, or some other port? Does some other program have that port open?

  • Yes I now it is a nono and not a Leonardo. I have trieyd with nono sketches and thers the same problem. Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 6:56
  • It doesn't really matter if it's a Leonardo or Nano -- the problem is that the Arduino application can't open COM4. Is the device you are programming on COM4? Is there any other application opening COM4? Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 10:49

I don't see any trivial solution from the error log, but you can try one or more of the following items:

  • Unplug and replug the USB cable (to check if the connection is ok)
  • Change your USB cable in another USB port from your computer
  • Restart computer
  • Change USB cable
  • Try another Arduino (if you have two megas, or change to Uno if possible), just to check for uploading
  • Reinstall Arduino

  • I install arduino on another device and same error happend. I haven't a other cabel or a arduino. Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 7:08
  • I found a new cabel ant it wont work. Weeks ago i have the same problem with an other nano. I think my settings are incorect. Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 7:25
  • If you remove the Arduino, see you that COM4 is not in use anymore? And when you reconnect COM4 shows up again? Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 8:21
  • Yes. after remove com4 disappear. Plug in again an it shows me com 4 Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 10:54
  • Than you can be sure the Arduino is on COM4. If your settings are incorrect, try to reinstall the IDE. Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 10:57
