Trying to flash:
Using ‘COM5’ as serial port.
Unexpected error: could not open port ‘COM5’: PermissionError(13, ‘Ingen tilgang.’, None, 5)
Not sure how to proceed, I am not a programmer and the PY/api/putty/ is daunting to me.
side note: I use termite rs232 serial terminal for most simple serial related Q&A…
can you directly control the unit by sending serial text to it, if so where do I find a list of commands?
If it helps, this is what I got from the termite:

Hi All. I’m new to Meshtastic and new to this forum. I have a Heltec Stick V3. When I first got it going and only using MQTT I could see lots of nodes all over the place. Some friends of mine also have Nodes online and for some reason I haven’t been able to see their nodes on the map or message them. I have since put an antenna up and disabled MQTT. Also I am going to be using the device via HTTP on a pc not on a mobile device. I have found that the windows GUI is lacking some functionality. I would like to be able to sort the node list by Last Heard or SNR but the arrows don’t seem to do anything. Is there a way to clear the node list and have it only show the nodes you are receiving? At the moment the list is still showing nodes I was seeing 2-3 days ago. Sorry if I am asking a bit much.
Regards
Chris
