"no port open" error in WARI
So tonight I was trying to connect to the ECU using the same hardware I have always used. Same software versions as well. I was getting a "No port open" error message in the load box in WARI, the small window that pops up when WARI is initially opened. It was doing the same thing in an old version and the newest version of WARI.
I tried all of the usual stuff, that is, unplug and replug the USB connector, power cycle the Adaptronic, reboot the PC, uninstall and reinstall the USB driver, no results. When I try switching to other COM ports I get the "No ECU connected" message, then back to the "No Port Open" message when I switch back to the correct COM port. I am using a USB-serial adapter that has always worked fine before.
I RTFMed, searched here and at the Adaptronic site, and did not find anything. Anyone seen this error message before? I am posting the same question in the Adaptronic web site forum.

Thanks for the input.
Last night I tried going into device manager and checking the COM port assignment, and switching it accordingly in WARI. That did not work either. I suspect the problem may be with the com port adapter. It may have decided to start being flaky so I may try another one.

I had the same issue one day. I realized I was putting the serial adapter in a usb port that I usually don't use. I put it back in the port I normally use and it fixed the issue.
Bought a new USB adapter the same as the one I had before and tried it again last night. The "no port open" error went away, and I checked the COM port selection, but now I cannot get it to see the ECU. All I get is a 'No ECU Connected' message. I hope to do some more troubleshooting tonight.

OK well I do not know WTF was going on but now it is working fine, and I really did not change anything. WARI communicates with the ECU, loads maps, etc. Car idles.
I am quite relieved. For a minute there I was in fear that the lightning strike had fried the Adaptronic.

I thought my ecu had died once. Wiggled the adapter harness and it turned right back on. I am going to pull out the harness one of these days and check it. I also have a grounding issue I am working on fixing, so my problem might be related to that too.
Either way, it has only done it once
