You COULD use the AC controller as a DC controller, but I think a board dedicated to DC would be a little better. The AC board has 6 isolated supplies, but you only really need 1 for a DC controller. I'm going to get a surface mount DC and AC board made (well, the AC is done, and the DC will be very similar), and will get some metals fabricated. The cost of getting the metals made is my main holdup. Well, and that I've been stuck up in Oregon/Washington for work for the last few weeks. I'll be back home around the 10th though.

I think that if the metals are all drilled and bent, and the board is soldered, then you should be able to assemble it in a couple hours.
