iBus interface for my E46 BMW written in Python This is to be used with the USB interface which can be acquired from Reslers.de

The software expects MPD to be working on whatever it is installed on (for me, hopefully a raspberry Pi - will write something in a blog soon)

There are 2 main components:
pyBus.py - interfaces with the iBus to emulate a CD-Changer
pyBus_web.py - Web-Server which will broadcast an interface that allows a user to:

• Play/Pause
• Next/Previous
• Modify Playlist
• View RPM, current speed

All software is in early alpha stages!

Soooon..

• python, mpd, python-setuptools
  • apt-get install python python-setuptools mpd
• Python modules: termcolor, web.py, python-mpd, pyserial
  • easy_install termcolor web.py python-mpd pyserial

• Install the prerequisites above
• Ensure music is available at /music and that mpd is configured to read from there (best test mpc using mpc prior)
• Plug in iBus USB device
• Run: ./pyBus.py <PATH to USB Device>
  • E.g. ./pyBus.py /dev/ttyUSB0
