Hello, I started the course today and I tried to upload the wifi scan sketch on a ESP32S but iḿ receiving an error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/camoura/.arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esptool_py/3.0.0/esptool.py”, line 38, in <module>
import serial
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘serial’
Multiple libraries were found for “WiFi.h”
Used: /home/camoura/.arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/1.0.5/libraries/WiFi
Not used: /home/camoura/src/arduino-1.8.13/libraries/WiFi
exit status 1
Error compiling for board ESP32 Dev Module
I use Linux Mint.
The Arduino IDE works fine with Arduino Uno and ESP8266.

Thanks

Carlos

Hi Carlos.

I’m not very familiar with using Linux with Arduino IDE.

One of our readers had a similar issue. Here’s the discussion:
https://rntlab.com/question/import-serial-error-with-esp32-on-doit-esp32-revkit-vi-board/

I also found these discussions with several suggestions

I hope this helps.
