GoKBus - BMW Serial Data in Go September 2020

Go KBus is a golang module designed to interface with the BMW I/K Bus. It can be used to write, read, and interpret serial commands on this particular wire. It's loosely based on ezeakeal's excellent pyBus.

Some images from my recent fog light camera install. Soon to be used for Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) when the vehicle is running. It appears stable, and relatively watertight.

Aux Battery Install July 2018
