VSCode:
Version: 1.56.2 (user setup)

running VScode from wsl2 (Windows10)

Getting this error:
There was an error with your serialport module, Pymakr will likely not work properly. Please try to install again or report an issue on our github (see developer console for details)

any help to resolve the above would be much appreciated.
