![ADVi3++5.1](https://community.advfirmwares.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e634d2aae04846625fbf6f27c8755a9adabbfd2a.png) Now that version 5 is released and is quite stable (all known issues were fixed in 5.0.1 except one related to LCD dimming), it is now time to talk about the future. What I have planned at a minimum for version 5.1 is to align ADVi3++ with the latest version of [Marlin Firmware (currently 2.0.9.1)](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin). But of course, I want to integrate other features. There is already a list of [Feature Requests on GitHub](https://github.com/andrivet/ADVi3pp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aenhancement). If you have ideas, it is time to submit them either here (by replying to this message) or on GitHub ([submit an Enhancement](https://github.com/andrivet/ADVi3pp/issues/new)). Everybody can submit a feature request but be sure your request is not specific to your setup and **can benefit to many people**. Please also do not submit **duplicates** (check before submitting that this is a new request). Then at the beginning of October (around the 4th), I will publish a poll and people sponsoring the project on Patreon with **$8 or more will able to vote**. I will make my best to implement the features with the most votes. I will not implement all the features in version 5.1. Instead, I will implement some in version 5.1, them others in version 5.2, etc. This way, you will not have to wait again months before seeing a new release. Thank you all, present and past sponsors of the project. It is such an amazing journey. And thanks to you, ADVi3++ will become even better. Sebastien ---

Can you add bltouch support for i3 plus mk2? ---

Can you elaborate a little? Why since those printers already have a sensor? It is not precise/reliable enough? Or for another reason? ---

Yes the stock sensor is not precise / reliable enough, because of the heated bed that generates an unconsistent electromagnetic field. ---

It seems like many people have replaced the stock thermistor with an M3 screw-in one. I believe the only way to currently account for the different power curve (type 1 vs type 11) is to recompile with a custom configuration. It would be nice if this setting was available on the LCD. ---
