batlab.batpool.Batpool module

class batlab.batpool.Batpool.Batpool

Manage a pool of connected batlabs by maintaining a list of plugged-in systems.

The batpool class spins up a thread that manages connections to Batlab devices connected over USB. It monitors the USB ports and maintains a dict of connected Batlabs called the batpool. The contents of this variable are Batlab class instances and they are looked up in the dict by their Serial Port addresses. Pyserial is used in the batlab to manage connections to the computer’s serial interface.

A second variable, batactive is used to store the serial port name of the currently active Batlab, that is, the Batlab to which commands are currently directed.
