I want to create Ledger signer instances from ledger wallet. However, I always got an error that says "cannot open device".

Would it be possible to create Ledger instances from a ledger wallet? I an using Ledger Nano S.

This is my code and error.

  let firstSigner: LedgerSigner;
  console.log("creating first signer")
  firstSigner = new LedgerSigner(provider, "hid", "m/44'/60'/0'/1");
  console.log("first signer", await firstSigner.getAddress())

  let secondSigner: LedgerSigner;
  console.log("creating second signer")
  secondSigner = new LedgerSigner(provider, "hid", "m/44'/60'/0'/2");
  console.log("second signer", await secondSigner.getAddress())
creating first signer
first signer 0x2...
creating second signer

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Make sure you don't have any other apps running that are connected to the Ledger device
