Unable to open com port # error = -1

Just like the header says. I am unable to get xlight to control the LOR boxes with the lor protocol. I get the error unable to open com port. haven't switched them to DMX this is just for testing right now. Nothing is using the com port. Drivers are loaded.

I've tested using my LOR boxes with the LOR protocol and it opens using a COM port so no way I can know why its not working for you.  Usually the errors are correct.  Humor me and show a screenshot that shows the COM port number in Device Manager and then make sure that's the port number you are trying to open.

Never mind it was user error.  I didn't realize it didn't like multiple controllers in the set up.  I changed the setup to one output 64 channels and all is well.  Should have read first.. Thanks

You can have multiple controllers but I'm guessing you mean you can't have more than one output pointing to the same COM port.  That's probably true.  It could have been designed to handle that but probably not worth the trouble.
