SpiderBasic

Maybe SpiderBasic should have a way of specifying the port range used for testing?

OR

Ahh, thanks.

Not a bug, but maybe as it's Logitech that are using the port too, it may be a good idea to use a different one as it may be quite common.

Always a challenge to find a vacant port that someone else might also decide to use...

Very nice that Fred included the option to adjust the ports when needed

Yes.

I wonder why 9081 was also used - that port wasn't the one set.

Interesting, did you just install this software ? I will try to find a default range less crowed..

Moved to coding question for future refence if someone has the same issue

This is admittedly a rare problem, but wouldn't it be a good idea for SpiderBasic to report when the corresponding port is blocked?

@fred Logitech 'recommended' the software in an update for both my mouse and my webcam, I think it also recommends it for their gaming keyboards. Their hardware/software is pretty common so I expect this will happen now quite often. I updated the software after the last beta, before that they didn't use the port I think.

@peter yes, a check beforehand then a warning would be good.

Testing the port at every laucnh could long, sometimes it takes several seconds. I don't know if there is a solid solution for this. Or may be moongose output an error and the IDE ignores it, I will look closer.
