Our team has put together a small show case using RaspberryPI connected to BMW 528iA E39 K-BUS in order to communicate with the car and collect metrics. More information about the RaspberryPI implementation can be found in the blog post here and here. NodeJS RaspberryPI source code can be found here.
As a client-side prerequisite, you should install the basic tools for your operating system: Node.js (4.x and above), Bower and Gulp. Start by cloning the Baasic BMW K-BUS With RaspberryPI Showcase repository. After that, go into the root folder of the showcase you just cloned and type.
npm install
npm (Node Package Manager) will go through its configuration file (package.json) and install all dependencies. It may take a couple of minutes to download and install everything; when it is finished, just type
gulp serve
and you are almost ready to go.
In order to setup RaspberryPI NodeJS please read the blog posts mentioned in introduction and documentation from GitHub.
You can also add a --baseUrl command if showcase destination is not in root of your website
For example:
--baseUrl "/angularjs/baasic-showcase-iot-raspberrypi-bmw/"
Now there's a ./dist folder with all scripts and stylesheets concatenated and minified, also third party libraries installed with bower will be concatenated and minified into vendors.min.js and vendors.min.css respectively.
