"I cannot see any "Advanced Menu" selection. Unless it is hidden with the Terminal selection..LOL.

"I apologise if this is a bit off topic.
My mission planner just updated to version 1.3.0.

"Yes, I had a look earlier today. The addition of some extra caps is a good idea. Too many manufacturers like to save 5cents by leaving out those parts. As you said, the board will mostly work alright for 98% of the time, but when there is a sudden…"
