The rack can be used in failsafe mode, where by you just give it the high current (80 amp fuse)12v connections and 12v ignition on pin 4 though a 10 amp fuse.

There's a 2 pin connector with beefy pins, pin 2 connectors to a permanent 12v though an 80 amp fuse, pin 1 to ground.

If you want to use dynamic assist levels, you'll need to connect pin 1 to CAN-L and pin 2 to CAN-H, and send out the RPM on 0x280 where Bytes 2 and 3 are RPM*4. This must be above 600 for it to provide assistance.

The rack broadcasts 0x3D0 and 0x3D2
