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

CAN-IN

Ubox V1 was not considered for 4WD when we designing it, 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 makes 4WD easy, by separating 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.

Ignite

The Ignite socket is hided away[picture needed], because it has a battery voltage in it, this is often too high, so we hided it. Don not plug the power button in it.

The ignite socket is for the E-bike/E-scooter, to comply with their throttle and voltage meter.
