New APM 2.5+ and new voltage and current sensor, new Mediatek GPS

[Jumpy07]

• New genuine APM 2.5 +  lower price
• New power supply module with voltage and current monitoring
• New V2 Mediatek GPS

As soon as the power module is available will get one and see if it works with the clone board.. noticed Mission Planner has an option for this  in the hardware config.. but seems to make a distinction for genuine / clone board..

They knocked $20 off the price hmmm still to expensive does the clone have the mystery connector ?

Yes it does.. the board looks the same... but in MP they do make a distinction on the power module for clone / genuine for some reason.. will order one when they are in stock and see if it works with the clone..

New cases look much much better..

It';s not really a mystery connector, it was always there but now they';ve created a socket for it just to make it easier to connect the Atto Current sensor. The clone has the ports as well but you might need to solder on a connector.
