Thanks for the recommending https://github.com/tarm/serial !
To address John's question: by using a Config, you can set a read timeout. (The godoc package doc is out of date). A few years ago, before the timeouts were added to the package, similar functionality could be achieved by wrapping into a channel and having a 2nd channel for the timeout, but that was awkward and it has been better to have the timeouts in the package.
