We used the MacArthur HAT already with the WEGMATT dAISy HAT.
This time, thanks to Peter (Antypas), we can take a look at MAIANA, his development of GNSS + AIS module which can directly be connected via CAT5 cables to the MacArthur HAT.
MAIANA consists of an antenna in a housing with an integrated PCB to capture the AIS data as well as GNSS information, which is transferred via CAT cable to a receiver, in our case the MacArthur HAT.
Let's get into it and check if this setup completed our MacArthur project!
