DIY Knobster flash failure

#1 Post by rmnwood »

DIY Knobster is failing to flash. I have tried 2 different arduino nano boards and 2 nano clones but same result. Cannot open ports even though I have set inbound rules to open ports 1-6.

It means that it is not allowed to open the ports. Can be that they're used by a different program for example. There's nothing we can do about that.
You can try it on a different computer.
