Introducing the all new IBU2 Ultimate (IBU2U)
Some of you will have noticed IBU2’s have been hard to obtain from retailers, this is because production had stopped at the end of 2016. The IBU2 Ultimate is its replacement.
It is a totally redesigned board with revised firmware and enhanced features. The base version will still have 4 channel inputs, the pro is been renamed Full Option (FO) and now has 8 channel inputs.
Features
IBU2U Base contains all the features of the existing IBU2 base plus
· Digitally mixed sound (multiple sounds can be played at once)
· 16bit sounds & 8bit sounds can be used and inter mixed
. Every sound file can have its volume adjusted independently to all other sounds.
· 5 Pin plug support for xenon flash unit, with airsoft micro-switch input
· Taigen airsoft recoil support
· Dual smoker ports (1 proportional for fan, 1 switched for heater)
· Improved driver controls, supports up to 20A continuous motor output
· 10W sound amplifier, with user defined limiter so can use stock 3w speaker
· Support for up to 16Gb capacity microSD cards (yes you can have days’ worth of sounds)
· MicroSD card now easier access on top of IBU2
· Expansion port for future modules
· Brake light works even with momentum turned off
· Improved servo recoil action (fast return, slowing to a stop)
. 3 Engine cold and warm start and stop sounds (randomly played)
· 3 Machine gun sounds (randomly played)
· 3 Main guns sounds (randomly played)
· Engine revving without tank moving
. Easy to setup, following recorded guiding voice instructions
. User can update firmware themselves
IBU2U FO contains all the features of the existing IBU2 Pro plus

· Volume control via radio channel
· 4 user sound effects of unlimited file size (must fit microSD size)
· 8 channel inputs
· Supports clutch style gearboxes
. Exclusive sound tank sets will be available
. Choice of 6 inertia curves
Some of the major improvements
User can update the firmware, by simply adding the file to the microSD card and turning on the IBU2U.
