Problem with Gas Sensor (MQ2) -> serial Port exception

Hi all

We are using Arduino 2 to connect to our Gas Sensor (MQ2). The sensor is connected to port A0 as described in https://seeeddoc.github.io/Grove-Gas_Sensor-MQ2/

Using the following script:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
 
void loop() {
  float sensor_volt; 
  float sensorValue;
 
  sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
  sensor_volt = sensorValue/1024*5.0;
 
  Serial.print("sensor_volt = ");
  Serial.print(sensor_volt);
  Serial.println("V");
  delay(1000);
}

Leeds to the this error:

Binary sketch size: 1,082 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: Serial port 'COM1' not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu?

Any hints?
Thx a lot, Thomy

You either haven’t selected the right port for your embedded device or you don’t have any embedded devices connect to your machine.
