Changinng the microcontroller with a CAN one (for those interested) is the
answer.

Yest that's possible.

DB9 is too big at this point, however it can be used, there isn't any RS232
onboard, except the USB/RS232 interface.

There is already an RJ10 onboard for the SHT75.

This board started as a collection of interfaces connected as a sandwich to
a core, carrying the microcontroller. When every interface works I've
decided that structure it's a mistake, mostly because of  the large numbers
of connectors. Then I need a dataloger and a battery was added. This one is
using a lot of space.

As a factory manufactured board this is not very crowdy at all.
Take a look please to one of my proffesional designs here:
