Holybro Autopilot Flight Controllers -Kakute H7

The version that is being shipped at the moment is Kakute H7 V1.3. This V1.3 now has USB-C, 9V 3A BEC for VTX, and JST-SH connector for VTX port. For details on the difference between versions, please see this chart.

Due to the end of production of MPU6000 IMU, ICM-42688-P will be used for the new version of Kakute H7, which is supported by Betaflight version 4.5.2 and later. Version 1.3 will be phased out as the inventory depletes.
