non official ve bus adapters have damaged things before
yeah,nobody is really touching it/hacking it…okay,back to usb 
you can add it is nut its error prone and not really worth it
Hi Rob, my first post on here, I was searching for a Raspberry PI Hat solution and would like to try your design if possible. Been building my own inverters, charge controllers etc but have decided to switch to Victron products for a number of reasons. I have found your circuit diagram version 1.4, I can work from that if needed or is there a later version or even Gerber files that I could use to start off with. Thanks, Gary

I am interested as well to build a hat, but I was thinking to RPI 4 since can have active 5 uart’s . Please tell me is it possible to configure applications to use native serial ports ?
Thank you,
Daniel
Hi Gary,
Have you made any progress with building your Raspi Hat designed by Rob Duthie. Did you plan to have a PCB manufactured by PCBway or JLCpcb, or will you build your own board? I have received the files from Rob and am contemplating having one made. Just curious about what other people have done.
Thanks, David
Hi, I have looked into the costs etc, but was not aware if there was much interest. JLC will only make 5 minimum, with all the components the price adds up very quickly. The other way to go is to buy the components separate to the PCB but cost is not that much lees then you have to solder it.
I have just used a proto type hat and added the basics that I need (Temperature sensors and relays).
If you get them manufacted with components I would buy one from you.
