Re: Camtronics

hey matt,
I know many have answered your questions about the camtronics boards
with great posts. I too have built the 3 axis 2 amp board and the
soldering is not bad at all. The board, if built properly works very
well and dan is a great help as you have already found out. I have
some details on the board, heatsinks I have made for them, my
enclouser, and my entire setup if you wish to take a look. If you
have questions feel free to wirte:
