Right now it looks like there will be 3 different PCB's: One for the HV power supply, one for a single I-95, and another for 2-4 IEL-0-IV (I havn't sized the board yet, but it needs to be less than 4" per side). I use a modular design approach, and everything is connected with a 10-pin ribbon-cable serial bus I call IOLINK. So if you are willing to adapt your favorite controller to the IOLINK interface, which uses 12V signalling (2 inputs, 5 outputs), these boards will be workable for you.
