We also were not sure how many teams would be interested in something like this to justify the effort to bring it to market. It is still something we can definitely make, we just need to figure out where on the priority list it falls compared to some of the other large initiatives REV is working on.
Oh I would definitely buy this. The need for a dedicated power supply and controller has kept me from prioritizing blinkinlights in the past. Your board looks like a pretty simple drop-in solution.
