## Implementation (Incomplete)

- Setup 2nd feather + proto board as a 40 pin socket
- 2nd feather acts as a mux between different rpi uarts (0 and 1 and 5 in particular)
- 2nd feather talks via qwiic connector over i2c to main board
- User button on feather to flip between usb and local serial (aka : can be used as a serial adapter)
  - Note this on the UI
- Fall back to internal uart pins if no expander is present
  - Note this on the UI
- Main board startup shows connection setup + waits for OK prompt via main hat switch
- Main board has a status bar @ bottom with battery level, selected uart, selected speed
- Main board does simple display of serial in/out via lcd
- Main board has a button for accessing symbols via pop-up list that aren't on keyboard
- Main board has a button for accessing a uart selection pop-up that maps to rpi uarts
- Main board has a button for accessing password selection pop-up to help with password entry over serial
- Main board has a button for accessing uart speed pop-up to help with configuring line speeds

## Implementation (Complete)

- Battery level on feather neopixel (green = >80% ; yellow >=40% ; orange >= 25% ; red < 25%)
- User LED (red) always on when feather is running
