Phidgets Forums

Hi all, i just bought a new Phidget Device and have this issue with a windows 11 PC, anyone know what this might be about?

When I've gotten that error, it is usually because either:
1) I had a program still running that was holding the device open while I was also trying to talk to it in the Phidget control panel
or
2) I had the control panel open and then ran my program, which then couldn't access the device due to the control panel using it.

I'd double-check that there isn't an invisible process that is holding the device open somewhere.

Try running the control panel as admin. If will print the name of the other program using the Phidget in the error message if it has access to.
