Kept refreshing this morning.. I just saw it go live so grabbed a $175 kit. Glad to see it's already funded to it's goal.
I already have a PROC board to start my homebrew, but interested to see what this kit does. I had some early OPP boards so I'm curious how he improved on it.
Question1:
Is this providing a kit ($175.00) that the buyer must solder all of the components to the board or is it a fully assembled board ready for programming with mpf?
Question2:
Power control (on/off) is this being handled by mpf power on then it relays to this board to cycle power on?
Question3:
I understand mpf is used to control a dmd or 7 segment display does this imply mpf and separate board is displaying the play field controlled lamps?
Could you explain what options are suggested for controlling play field lamps and this solution?

But will these boards not be produced and sold in the future anywhere?

You are welcome, @ausretrogamer. I look forward to seeing what everyone makes with them.
@prospekteur, metallik is correct, I will be selling them in my Pinside shop after I complete the Kickstarter reward shipping. Hopefully only a couple weeks left of that.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the Twitch livestream with @jabdoa: https://www.twitch.tv/jabdoa
