Re: Camtronics

Kits I have built from Camtronics.

1 - 2 amp board (3 axis board)
1 - 5 amp board (3 axis board)
7 - 5 amp single axis boards.

I have built them for myself and friends. Take you time assembling
the components. The heat sink is not included in the kit. Here is
an example of the heat sink on my 5 amp board.
