Reverse engineering the SkyRC D100V2
Unfortunately this article was lost to the depths of /dev/null
, so to speak, so I’m afraid I can only direct you to the Github repo for the project https://github.com/qduff/skyrcusb. If you are interested, you can use the library like so:
import skyrcUSB
# Get charger info
charger = skyrcUSB.Charger() # Instantiate object and connect
print(f"Model {charger.model_name} SW:{charger.software_version} \n")
# Get voltages for each cell
for sideID in range(2):
vcells = charger.getCellInfo(side=sideID)
if vcells:
print(f"{len(vcells)} Cells in the battery")
[print(f"Cell {i+1}: {v}mV") for i, v in enumerate(vcells)]
else:
print(f"No Cells on side {chr(65+sideID)}")
# Get charger settings
charger.getSettings()
print(f"\nThe charger is configured to not exceed {charger.maxTemp} C or {charger.maxCapacity} mah\n")
# Get charge data on side B
cstate = charger.getChargeData(1)
if cstate.isError():
print(f"Error: {cstate.getErrorString()}!!!\n")
if not cstate.isIdle(): # if charger is charging or finished
print(f"Status: {cstate.getStatusString()}")
print(f"Voltage: {cstate.voltage} mV")
print(f"Current: {cstate.current} mA")
print(f"Capacity: {cstate.capacity} mah")
print(f"Duration: {cstate.chargeDuration} seconds")
else:
print("Charger has not started charging.")
Let me know if you have success using it!
