I've spent a couple of week reading over the various fora covering Cam86 -- the resulting knowledge bank is a credit to the community.

Now my key questions?
  1. Where is the best place to find Gerber files (or better still , the underlying CAD files) so I can order the PCBs?
  2. What is the state of the firmware? Is https://github.com/axsdenied/cam86_fw current?

To assist other newbies I'm summarising my reading review at https://github.com/smr547/cam86

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Congratulation for producing a fantastic thread!

Hi Steven,
welcome to the adventure, help you will find to help you in the event of a difficult moment, I am Patrice from the French forum but as you can see, I am listening to other forums as well .

For Gerber, it depends on the model you want to build, there is the original one available here or the IIS version available at the start of this discussion.
Luka did a great job on the Firmware and it is compatible with the 2 versions they are available here.

Avoid taking the kit on EBay, a French member had problems with it, without having yet found the source ...
