This module provides a Python interface to Carrera(R) DIGITAL 124/132 slotcar systems connected via a serial (cable) connection.

>>> from carreralib import ControlUnit
>>> cu = ControlUnit('/dev/ttyUSB0')
>>> cu.version()
'5337'
>>> cu.poll()
Status(fuel=(14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 0, 0), start=0, mode=6,
       pit=(False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False),
       display=8)
>>> cu.start()
>>> cu.poll()
Status(fuel=(14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 0, 0), start=1, mode=6,
       pit=(False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False),
       display=8)
>>> cu.start()
>>> cu.poll()
Timer(address=1, timestamp=105295, sector=1)
>>> cu.poll()
Timer(address=0, timestamp=105410, sector=1)

For demonstration purposes, the carreralib module can also be used from the command line as a simple race management system (RMS).

Please refer to the online documentation for more information.
