Resource Needed（CAM file download)

Operation steps

1. unzip the CAM file you download and add it to you eagle CAM folder.

2. Open you PCBname.brd with eagle software. Here used the Crowduino as an example.

8.Copy all the needed files to one folder and zip it.

Top layer: pcbname.GTL

Bottom layer: pcbname.GBL

Solder Stop Mask top: pcbname.GTS

Solder Stop Mask Bottom: pcbname.GBS

Silk Top: pcbname.GTO

Silk Bottom: pcbname.GBO

NC Drill: pcbname.TXT

Mechanical layer : pcbname.GML


For Stencil, the GTP and GBP layer is also needed.

Now, What you need to do is order PCB online ,and wait to get the PCB boards.
