ESP32 / Arduino IDE problem - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'

Postby DronePilot » Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:49 am

Hello forum!

I am trying to verify sample / example code for ESP32 and I got error every time:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/cc/.arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esptool_py/4.5.1/esptool.py", line 31, in <module>
import esptool
File "/home/cc/.arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esptool_py/4.5.1/esptool/__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
from esptool.cmds import (
File "/home/cc/.arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esptool_py/4.5.1/esptool/cmds.py", line 14, in <module>
from .bin_image import ELFFile, ImageSegment, LoadFirmwareImage
File "/home/cc/.arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esptool_py/4.5.1/esptool/bin_image.py", line 14, in <module>
from .loader import ESPLoader
File "/home/cc/.arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esptool_py/4.5.1/esptool/loader.py", line 30, in <module>
import serial
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'

exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1
I have installed pyserial with command:

python -m pip install pyserial

but this did not solve the problem

I am using Linux Ubuntu and Arduino IDE.


Thanks for help!

What version of Python are you using?
Also, ensure you have the correct upload settings in your IDE.

With LinuxMint21.1 (Ubuntu derivative) I found that installing the deb package esptool fixed this.

Problem solved - I have installed Arduino IDE from "Ubuntu Software". Now IDE works good!

lol for me i was messing around with my usergroups. I am part of dialout but sometimes in couldnt see USB0 when using ls /dev/tty*. Somehow i ended up adding myself to a group with root and then chmodding group perms for rw. Worked. But not safe. Whatever though. Its my personal machine lol
