Hi @ClemensGruber,
Thank you for reporting this. and I am sorry for the bad experience you are facing. We are trying to keep our product up-to-date. However, Atom's changes will require additional effort on our part, which sometimes takes time. I would be happy to help you if the below solution did not work for you.
I have checked this on multiple environments.
After the latest upgrade of Atom, the serialport package (and because we are still using version 8.0.x) tries to rebuild based on the new electron version (used by Atom on version 1.57). As a result, Pymakr may throw issues on environments that miss some setup, like the error you mentioned.
One solution is by doing the below setup for windows users to use `Pymakr.
Steps:
The following link will have two solutions, one I mentioned above and an alternative. But the (windows-build-tools) option did not work for me on two different Pcs. https://stackoverflow.com/a/59882818
We will work on updating serialport package to avoid this type of issue in the future.
I had to use Pymakr as I filed the bug, so 6 days ago! I had no time in the projekt to wait for an update to use your products with Atom. So I _un_installed Atom und installed VSCode with Pymakr. Hope this will last with less bugs as long as we use PyCom products with MicroPython.
Even the update from Atom 1.56 to 1.57 did not change anything, still not possible to install Pymakr!? What a creePy support from PyCom! Tons of bug issues but no reaction! We will leave the PyCom universe, too much hassle, less support.
