py skyrc charger

this package allows to interface with skyrc chargers using the usb-connection as a more flexible replacement for the Charge Master software.

supported devices

this code was developed and tested using the SkyRC T1000: https://www.skyrc.com/t1000 however chargers working with the original Charge Master software are likely to work as well. A list of supported devices is on the download page of Charge Master: https://www.skyrc.com/downloads

tested on linux only, windows should also work, but it is more difficult to setup the usb driver
