Introduction

This is the Project Builder's Guide for issue 1 of the RPSU circuit board from Oakley Sound. 
This document contains a full parts list for the components needed to populate the board and 
some basic testing methods.

You will also need the RPSU User Manual which gives details on how to use the module as 
well as example wiring diagrams. This can be found on the RPSU webpage.

For general information regarding where to get parts and suggested part numbers please see
