JPL says it can find any serial ports (or that I may not have permission to access any), whats going on?
When this happens it’s normally because either the serial port or javax.comm are not installed properly. This results in JPL not finding any serial ports and thus reporting the fact. So if you are using a USB serial adapter make sure you have installed the drivers properly, test accessing the serial port with another program if you can. On some systems (say Linux) you may also need to give yourself access permissions for the serial port.
