Hi there!
This is my first post here. Thank you everyone for making this site, where one can learn a lot. And special thanks to Sailoog for making this happen. First, I am not new to linux and OpenCPN, but I am quite novice with raspberry-pi/raspbian and Open Plotter. Good thing is that I ordered my Moitessier HAT2, plug into my RPi4, connected my boat antenna (AIS) and everything works like a charm! But for today I have two questions:
When I get my HAT2 from Sailoog store, I didn't order the case at that time. Now things are a little weird for ordering overseas (I am based in North America right now). Does anyone know an alternative case (for RPi4+Moitessier HAT2) which would work with these settings? If it's in Amazon USA that would be great.
And another question, this one more technical. So I am preparing the electric panel in my small sailboat to welcome the RPi4. I have the 12v to 5v step-down converter, same as in
https://bareboat-necessities.github.io/my-bareboat/
But here comes the noob question; how do I plug the 5v output to my raspberry-pi4, which comes with the usb-c plug type?? I couldn't find a cable with such characteristics in the internet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
