"ModuleNotFoundError - serial" with Arduino IDE and RAK3372

WisBlock
1

Hi there,
I use a MacBook Pro (Apple silicon) and am running Arduino 1.8.19 - which works very nicely with other microcontrollers.
This is my first effort with the WisBlock kit - I have a RAK3372 core module and have connected it up.

I can send it AT commands through the Arduino serial monitor

I cannot upload any of the example firmware - I keep getting a Module Not Found error - no module named “serial”

I have looked through the forum and it seems I may need to run pip3 install pyserial
I did that. I restarted Arduino IDE. No joy.

Grateful for your help :slight_smile:

Welcome to RAK forum @markstanley ,

We’re you able to try on the latest Arduino IDE 2.x?

Running pyserial on my macbook works ok but it is not Apple Silicon. Can you please share the error you see? Also, can you confirm the version of RUI3 you use on installing BSP for RAK3172?

I will forward this info to our team who can test on Apple Silicon.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for your help. I’m happy to say it works on Arduino IDE v2.2.1

You asked “can you confirm the version of RUI3 you use on installing BSP for RAK3172?” - how do I do that?

Great to hear it works now.

With the RUI3, just send AT+VER=? at 115200 baud rate on the serial terminal.
