INTRODUCTION

This guide is for building

KOMPAS

module from Bastl Instruments. It is good to have basic soldering

skills and to be able to identify electronic components before starting this kit. However if you have

never soldered before, check out this

. We even included some of the best quality solder

to help you solder everything faster and better.

The KOMPAS kit consists of two boards. All the parts comes in three bags separated for Top board,

Bottom board and Assembly parts. See the Bill of Materials for detailed list.
