I just started with using serial ports on windows while doing some Raspberry Pico hobby projects. Something that I find strange is that every new device gets assigned a new comport, I mean let's say I do this for a while one day I will have a comport 100, 200 and so on. Is that right, or does it somehow reset the comports?
- zwieback 3y agoThat's how it works and generally it's to the user's advantage. We often set specific parameters based on the device's serial number so getting the same COM port is nice, sometimes the devices are so simple that you cannot query its serial number. Sometimes I'll do a "blank slate" and delete all my accumulated COM ports in Device Manager (need to enable "Show Hidden Devices").
