GPS moving base with limited serial ports

Unfortunately, I bought two Holybro H-RTK F9P Helical GPS units before the can version was released. I wanted to use them for heading, but I’ve got two serial ports for lidar occupied. Can I use two AP_PERIPH CAN NODE L431’s from Matek and use the GPS on CAN ports 1 and 2?

Yes, you can use two of those nodes and even just connect them to each other rather than occupying both CAN ports. But if you’re willing to do a little soldering, you only need one node, since it has a second UART on the solder pads.
