The MacArthur HATs all passed testing and are now on their way to the OpenMarine store. If all goes well, and customs doesn't put up too much of a fight, they should go on sale within a week or two. I assume that Sailoog will pre-announce the launch day. We also already placed an order for more boards, so even if the first batch sells out quickly, there will be more coming soon after.
@rszemeti: On the mechanical and electrical side, the V1 HAT does work with the Pi 5. The only thing to watch is, that the pins of the MAIANA connector don't touch the metal shielding of the USB connectors. Maybe put a piece of plastic under the HAT in that area.
As per Sailoog's comment earlier, please create new threads in the appropriate forum for any questions or comments about the MacArthur HAT. Many users have notifications enabled for this thread in anticipation of the launch, and we don't want to spam their inboxes with unrelated content.
