• 5x PWM Outputs (4 Motor Output, 1 LED)
• Battery input voltage: 2S-6S
• Integrated 45A BlueJay ESCs

Pinout

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 (DJI RCIN,but needs protocol changes to SERIAL1 and SERIAL 2)
• SERIAL2 -> UART2 (RX Protocol by default, DMA-enabled)
• SERIAL3 -> UART3 Telem/User
• SERIAL4 -> UART4 Telem/User
• SERIAL7 -> UART7 (GPS, DMA-enabled)

RC Input

RC input is configured on the R2 (UART2_RX) pin by default. It supports all serial RC protocols. For FPort you should setup the TX PIN as an RC input serial port, with half-duplex and inversion enabled.

OSD Support

The ReaperF745v2 supports OSD using OSD_TYPE 1 (MAX7456 driver).

PWM Output

The ReaperF745v2 supports up to 5 PWM outputs. There are no pads for motor output M1 to M4 as these are connected directly to the onboard ESCs. M5 is on a separate pad for LED strip or another PWM output.

The PWM is in 2 groups:

• PWM 1-4 in group1
• PWM 5 in group2

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 and this is configured by default to take advantage of the BlueJay ESC firmware that is installed by default.

Battery Monitoring

The board has a builtin voltage and current sensor. The current sensor can read up to 130 Amps. The voltage sensor can handle up to 6S LiPo batteries.

The correct battery setting parameters are:

• BATT_MONITOR 4
• BATT_VOLT_PIN 13
• BATT_CURR_PIN 12
• BATT_VOLT_MULT 10.9
• BATT_AMP_PERVLT 100

Compass

The ReaperF745v2 does not have a builtin compass, but you can attach an external compass using I2C on the SDA and SCL pads.

Barometer

The ReaperF745v2 does not have a builtin barometer, but you can attach an external barometer using I2C on the SDA and SCL pads or use GPS as the EKF3 Z source. The board will boot without either, but only non altitude information requiring modes can be used.

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.
