+The MacArthur HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) is a specialized expansion board designed for the Raspberry Pi, primarily used in marine and outdoor applications. It integrates various sensors, including GPS, 9-axis IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer), barometer, and temperature sensors. This HAT enables the Raspberry Pi to collect comprehensive environmental and navigational data, making it ideal for marine electronics projects, weather stations, and IoT applications. Its compatibility with NMEA 2000 networks and Signal K platforms enhances its utility in modern marine systems, allowing easy integration with other onboard electronics and data-sharing capabilities.

 Configure the plugins:
+<code>
 For signalk-macarthur-hat, set the update interval and select the sensors you want to use.
 For signalk-canboat-parser, set the NMEA 2000 interface (usually /dev/ttyUSB0 for Actisense NGT-1).
+</code>
 Restart the Signal K server:
+<code>
 sudo systemctl restart signalk.service
+</code>
 ==== Step 9: Verify the Setup ====
-Navigate to http://<raspberry-pi-ip>:3000 in your web browser.
+Navigate to your web browser.
-Check the Data Browser to ensure you're receiving data from both the MacArthur HAT and the NMEA 2000 network.
