The latest version of Mission Planner version 1.3.17 Terminal connects fine to my new pixhawk, but the "setup" menu contains:
reset
show
set
esc_calib
and the "test" menu contains:
baro
compass
ins
optflow
relay
shell
rangefinder
but no "motors" test. So how can I test each individual motor to make sure I've wired them up correctly? All the docs talk about "motor direction" testing which is fine to do all at once, but I also need to test each individual motor the way the old "motors" test did.
Can someone tell me how to add that back to the terminal? Or better still, can someone add it to the new mission planner "wizard" as a step right after radio and esc calibration?

are you using pixhawk, if so, which version of the firmware?
Looks like Randy Mackay removed it, not sure why...

Since mission planner just forwards the terminal from the firmware, I'm guessing the pixhawk firmware decided to remove the test for some weird reason. Can someone put it back - it is the most useful test there is, I wouldn't dare fly a newly constructed hexacopter without running this test...
