I installed the new IDE Environment 1.6.6 and I got this error when compiling a program. I am using an Arduino Uno

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM4": access denied

I need your help.

  • I think you used "Eclipse" and "Arduino" at the same time. so, I guess that a "com4 Port" conflict has occurred and the upload could not was done.
  • restart your computer and try to open "Arduino" first and upload. not open "Eclipse" at the same time.

I had this very same issue. I solved the problem by shutting down my outside cameras. Once cameras were off (the software) the program worked. It was the camera software that was using the port.

So if you have a lot of other software or equipment running in the background this may be your problem. Just try shutting down things one at a time. That's what I did until I found that the camera software was my problem.
