Well, unfortunately, that would actually be below my cost. Matt Shaver
(who thought up the idea for this project) and I discussed a 'low cost'
version of this, something like the universal stepper board. That was
done with much cheaper wire terminals instead of the pretty expensive
2-part connectors, all on one board rather than a motherboard, etc.
All those little features add up. I may still do something like that at
some point, but I have to see some sales of the existing product before
investing any more time in this.
