+================
+GEPRC TAKER F745
+================
+
+The TAKER F745 is a flight controller produced by `GEPRC <https://geprc.com/>`_.
+
+Features
+========
+
+
+* STM32F745 microcontroller
+* MPU6000+ICM42688 dual IMU
+* BMP280 barometer
+* microSD based 512MB flash logging
+* AT7456E OSD
+* 7 UARTs
+* 8 PWM outputs

+
+
+UART Mapping
+============
+
+The UARTs are marked Rn and Tn in the above pinouts. The Rn pin is the
+receive pin for UARTn. The Tn pin is the transmit pin for UARTn.
+
+
+* SERIAL0 -> USB
+* SERIAL1 -> UART1 (DisplayPort, DMA-enabled)
+* SERIAL2 -> UART2 (RCIN, DMA-enabled)
+* SERIAL3 -> UART3 (connected to internal BT module, not currently usable by ArduPilot)
+* SERIAL4 -> UART4 (GPS)
+* SERIAL6 -> UART6 (User)
+* SERIAL7 -> UART7 (User)
+* SERIAL8 -> UART8 (ESC Telemetry)
+
+RC Input
+========
+
+RC input is configured by default via the USART2 RX input. It supports all unidirectional RC protocols except PPM. FPort and full duplex protocols, like CRSF/ELRS, will need to use TX2 also.
+
+.. note:: If the receiver is FPort or a full duplex protocol, then the receiver must be tied to the USART2 TX pin and `SERIAL2_OPTIONS <https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#serial2-options>`_ = 7 (invert TX/RX, half duplex), and `RSSI_TYPE <https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#rssi-type>`_ =3.
+
+FrSky Telemetry
+===============
+
+FrSky Telemetry is supported using the Tx pin of any UART. You need to set the following parameters to enable support for FrSky S.PORT (example shows SERIAL3).
+
+
+* SERIAL3_PROTOCOL 10
+* SERIAL3_OPTIONS 7
+
+OSD Support
+===========
+
+The TAKER F745 BT supports analog OSD using its internal OSD chip and simultaneously HD goggle DisplayPort OSDs via the HD VTX connector.
+
+VTX Support
+===========
+
+The SH1.0-6P connector supports a standard DJI HD VTX connection. Pin 1 of the connector is 12v (or VBAT by solder pad selection) so be careful not to connect to devices expecting 5v.
+
+PWM Output
+==========
+
+The TAKER F745 BT supports up to 9 PWM outputs. The pads for motor output
+M1 to M4 are on the esc connector, M5-M8 are solder pads, plus M9 is defaulted for serial LED strip or can be used as another PWM output.
+
+The PWM is in 4 groups:
+
+
+* PWM 1-4 in group1
+* PWM 5-6 in group2
+* PWM 7-8 in group3
+* PWM 9 in group4
+
+Channels within the same group need to use the same output rate. If
+any channel in a group uses DShot then all channels in the group need
+to use DShot. Channels 1-4 support bi-directional DShot.
+
+Battery Monitoring
+==================
+
+The board has a internal voltage sensor and connections on the ESC connector for an external current sensor input. The voltage sensor can handle up to 6S LiPo batteries.
+
+The default battery parameters are:
+
+
+* BATT_MONITOR 4
+* BATT_VOLT_PIN 13
+* BATT_VOLT_SCALE 11.0
+* BATT_CURR_PIN 12
+* BATT_CURR_SCALE 28.5
+
+Compass
+=======
+
+The TAKER F745 BT does not have a builtin compass, but you can attach an external compass using I2C on the SDA and SCL pads.
+
+Loading Firmware
+================
+
+Initial firmware load can be done with DFU by plugging in USB with the
+bootloader button pressed. Then you should load the "with_bl.hex"
+firmware, using your favourite DFU loading tool.
+
+Once the initial firmware is loaded you can update the firmware using
+any ArduPilot ground station software. Updates should be done with the
+\*.apj firmware files.
