I am not a guru but a few simple things that stood out to me are:

1. The usual way to import several packages is

import (
        "fmt"
        "whatever"
        "etc"
)

2. The same for vars, i. e.:

var (
        cores = 1
        rxOld = 0
        ...
)

3. Instead of appending to the same slice several times just use a
slice-literal like this:
