Ubox V2 has two new sockets in its panel: CAN-IN and Ignite:

CAN-IN

Ubox V1 was not considered for 4WD, and it has a independent power on control mechanism. So when people want to build a 4WD with Ubox V1, it is not so convenient. we didn't consider it carefully at that time, I'm sorry.

Ubox V2 make 4WD easy, by provide CAN-IN and CAN-OUT socket, with one CAN bus cable, 4WD will work.

Why we need to separate the IN and OUT? Because, Ubox supports momentary type button, the EN signal of the 12V power source is maintained by a MCU, so it can not self turn off when the 5V from the CAN cable is disappeared. By discriminate the CAN-IN 5V, the MCU can give up the EN control, let the CAN-IN 5V to take control of the EN.
