However - the Moitessier hat cannot be mounted without an extra pin head and it's quite tricky to come by actually! Not a lot of places ship to Sweden these days so I've been hunting online for a couple of hours(!) for something as simple as a gpio duplicator with reasonable shipping time. Would be a great accessory to your shop glowntiger

Hi, is this what you are looking for? https://www.amazon.com/Connectors-Raspberry-40-pin-Expansion-RAS-GP02/dp/B07MCW4KCM/ref=sr_1_51?keywords=40+pin+connector&qid=1570444309&sr=8-51

However Thomas should have them!

Thanks. It was pretty easy. Will be ordering the Moitessier Hat and the MCS kit soon. Is there anything else I will need other than the 40 pin adapter?

One of them indicated a red led and the other nothing, i'm not sure how and where to set the different options. Added interfaces in SignalK as a trial, also tried reading the serial outputs /dev/.... as root but all silent.

So that part of configuration is a bit unclear, read the german and english instructions but it does not cover many details.

Hi Guys,
at the Moment I use Openplotter at my sailboat.
I have several NMEA0183 an a N2K device on it.
I´m not afraid of my installation. all is "tinkered together"
I design and sell in part time next to my job pcb for homeautomation. 
I think about to design a PCB with "all on board" first for me but I also can imagen to sell it as open hardware (with CE)


What I want to ask here:
Is anyone intrested in somthing like that?
I search one who can make "the software side" so if anybody uses the board all runs out of the box? (I put the hardware ;-) )

For further Prices I think such a board is about 60€ without case and connectors.


I imaging somethink like that:

On the I2C conector you can bind several further I/O Modules like analog, digital In/out and so on.
Information an a overview of my hardware you found here: www.gedad.de
