Install micropython-rosserial on ESP32-CAM it is very easy.
The easy way is install it with upip. It requires internet access. So before we install the micropython-rosserial on ESP32-CAM, we need to connect it to the internet.
The full procedure is this one:
1 – Connect the computer to the ESP32-CAM via the FTDI USB-Serial interface.
2 – Access to the MicroPython console with a terminal software, or with the pyMakr vscode extension.
3 – Connect to the internet
On MicroPython console input the following commands
import network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
wlan.connect('ssid', 'password')
wlan.ifconfig()
The last statement only gets the ip config, and show us in the terminal. Ex:
>>> wlan.ifconfig()
('192.168.1.108', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.1.1', '192.168.1.1')
4 – Install the micropython-rosserial module and dependencies
import upip
upip.install('micropython-rosserial')
The success message sample is something like the following one.

After we may check the contents of the lib folder
import os
os.listdir('lib')
['logging.py', 'rosserial_msgs', 'ugenpy', 'uros']
The installation is done.
