 This is the first device I bought from the [[https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2022043|HiDANCE store]], and seems to be a [[https://usbchargingblog.wordpress.com/2019/03/09/alert-fake-u2-upms-have-quietly-entered-the-market/|clone]].

 The original manufacturer blocked this device.

 This device can still be used to measure voltage and current, but since there is no update anymore it will not be able to be used to detect charger profiles.
+I read out the FRAM (where the settings are stored) but did not find the serial number in there.
+I also cleared it to confirm the serial is not stored in the FRAM, but in the firmware.
+Sadly the firmware is read protected.
+There is also a footprint for an Bluetooth adapter behind the screen, but it was not placed yet (the software was probably not ready).

+==== WITRN U2 V2.0 ====
+Because the clone was bricked, I got a genuine replacement.

+A Bluetooth module could be placed on the front side of the bottom board.
+The front board could also be light bz LEDs from the back side.

+The U2p version is a variant of the U2 with 4 button instead of 2, and a switch to enable Power Delivery probing

+Here a list of the components present on the Qway U2p V1.1 board:
+  - input USB 3.0 type A plug
+  - input USB type C socket
+  - input USB type micro-B socket
+  - output USB 3.0 type A socket
+  - output USB type C socket
+  - data USB type micro-B socket, USB HID connection to the computer to read the measurements and flash the firmware
+  - 4 button to interact with the interface (back, ok, previous, next)
+  - PD switch to enable USB-C Power Delivery triggering
+  - [[http://www.microne.com.cn/en/ProductDetail.aspx?id=29|Micro One ME6203]] 3.3V LDO voltage regulator: one for the USB type A input, the other for the USB HID micro-B input to not affect the measurements
+  - input diode protection: not in-line, but shorting GND to VBUS when GND > VBUS
+  - R012F shunt resistor (12 mOhm): to measure the current
+  - 5R10 shunt resistor (5.1 Ohm): which can be switched in line to measure low currents
