Hi Folks,
I am using Pi 4 to access many sensors (4 SPI, 5 UART, 5 I2C, 5 ADC) and I am running out of Peripherals. I2C is not an issue since one bus can handle them. I also used I2C ADC (ads1115) since my Pi doesn't have analog inputs.

My main issue is in UART and SPI. I can't find a solution to connect them to the board. is there any HAT which can extend the peripherals on the board ?
I thought about using Pi Pico but one module will not be enough since Pico supports only 2 UARTs and 2 SPI. Interfacing with Pi 4 will add extra complexity on my program.
I believe others might have similar issues. I woder how they can go around this problem.
