# 2.1. Features

# 2.2 Wiring

Schematic features. Schematic can be provided via issue.

Connectors

The node has 3 connectors which are described in the table below.

Connector Description
1 CAN1, CAN2 Devices that deliver power to the bus are required to provide 4.5–5.5 V on the bus power line, 5.0 V nominal. Devices that are powered from the bus should expect 4.5–5.5 V on the bus power line. The current shall not exceed 1 A per connector.
2 SWD STM32 firmware updating using programmer-sniffer.
3 CAN3 Can be powered from 5.5 to 30 volts and connected to CAN.
4 UART Can be used to setup the GPS module

Here you can find manufacturer part number of connectors it self and its mates.

# 2.5. Power Supply Recommendations

Device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 5.5 V over CAN2 or CAN3 connector, or 5.5 - 30 V from CAN1. This input supply must be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47-μF or 100-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.
