# skyrcUSB: reading skyRC chargers through a reconstructed protocol

> skyrcUSB implements a Python client for a reverse-engineered skyRC charger protocol. Its Charger API reads cell voltages, charger settings and live charge data; the author reports testing it with a D100V2 and limits the library to read operations.
