Go KBus is a golang module designed to interface with the BMW I/K Bus. This protocol is similar to CAN, and controls the non-essential components in the car.
This module can be used to read, write, and interpret BMW serial commands. It's loosely based on ezeakeal's excellent pyBus (and my subsequent fork).
- USB serial interface can be acquired from Reslers.de. Other USB interfaces should work just as well, although are untested.
- Communicates on the I-BUS to send and receive diagnostics, running status, button presses, vehicle info, etc.
go get github.com/qcasey/gokbus
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/qcasey/gokbus"
)
func main() {
kbus, err := gokbus.New("/dev/ttyUSB0", 9600)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer kbus.Port.Close()
// Start the read and write channels
// This isn't required - we can ReadPacket() / WritePacket() separately without channels,
// but timing will be less precise and many packets will be dropped.
go kbus.Start()
// Read 5 packets
for i := 0; i < 5; i {
select {
case newPacket := <-kbus.ReadChannel:
log.Print(newPacket.Pretty())
}
}
// Prepare a write packet, this one opens the trunk
openTrunkPacket := gokbus.Packet{
Source: 0x3F,
Destination: 0x00,
Data: []byte{0x0C, 0x02, 0x01},
}
// alternatively, a list of known packets are provided in /pkg/prepackets
// flashLowBeamsPacket := prepackets.FlashLowBeams
// Block until packet is written to the bus
kbus.WriteChannel <- openTrunkPacket
// Read another 5 packets
for i := 0; i < 5; i {
select {
case newPacket := <-kbus.ReadChannel:
log.Print(newPacket.Pretty())
}
}
}
