I have a Pepwave Max BR1 Classic, and I would like to use the ignition sensing feature to detect battery voltage at a remote location. I’m using firmware 8.0.2 build 3612. According to the manual for 8.0.2, the GPIO menu should be under “Advanced”, but it’s not there. I know the analog voltage sensing feature is in the works, but the ignition sensing feature should be there.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Do I need to enable this feature somehow?
Thanks.

It’s Hardware Revision 2.

Sorry but this is only supported starting from HW revision 3. Thanks
Will the voltage reading capability be supported soon? I would like to know when my battery is running low.
If so, I will likely invest in the newer hardware.
I now have HW Version 3, and I still cannot see a GPIO menu under Advanced. Am I doing something wrong?

@AndyS, you may want to try with 8.1.0 Beta 2 firmware?
MAX BR1 Classis HW3 with firmware 8.1.0 Beta 2:
The pepwave max user manual for 8.0.2 includes a section on the GPIO menu, so I thought it would be in 8.0.2. A note about the new firmware would help. No worries. I will try the 8.1.0 Beta 2 firmware. Thank you.
I get an invalid firmware error. Is there a different beta firmware for the BR1 MK2?
OK I found and installed the Beta firmware for BR1 MK2 and I still don’t see the GPIO menu. I don’t see UART either.
Is there any progress on this? I am currently using the 8.1.0 Beta 2 firmware on my new BR1 MK2 and I don’t see the GPIO or UART menu options.
Is there a feature I need to activate?
May I know this is referring to BR1 MK2 Hw3?
As mentioned by @WeiMing, GPIO is supported by BR1 Classic Hw3.
