More changes than expected have to me made in openplotter 2 to make it work with Raspberry 4: moving nodejs from 8 to 10, xygrib, wifi access point, most opencpn plugins... but do not worry we will success and we will build the most robust, stable and documented openplotter version ever before.
RPI 4 now has many UARTs. Do you have plans to modify hardware and software to incorporate some (at least 4) RS422 and / or RS232 into a new version of Moitessier HAT? Or some new HAT that exposes these serial interfaces and that can be stacked with Moitessier. This would allow for more secure connections to the NMEA0183 interfaces and would facilitate installation and maintenance by dispensing cables, connections, and USB converters.
I do not find info about the new UARTs. Are they software or hardware ports? Do you have any link?
