    This looks great (and I want one)! My only concern is no way to easily replace a burned driver (or connect an external driver). Will you guys be offering a repair service for the Muscle board, or will the entire muscle board need to be replaced if I burn a driver? (If the board needs to be replaced, I hope the cost/availability is enough to convince me.) :)

    Thank you guys for your support and kind words! Props have to go out to @Peter Van Der Walt for the hard work put into these amazing docs and board as well as @Matthew Bates for the super cool videos @MaryD and @TrishC for making this bad boy look good as well as making it available to us all! It's truly an OpenBuilds Teams combined efforts and talents pushing to making this controller a reality. It's been awesome working with this Team on this project. This board has been a dream of ours for a long time and we are excited that the community is with us. Looking forward there are incredible ideas in the works that we can't wait to bring to life so keep your eyes open.
    Good point @Scotty Orr and we do have a system in place to work on and fix boards in house if need be but with the current limiting and how beefy these drivers this should not be much of a concern.
    Hi @Chillimonster I looked as well and they do not seem to offer this, but I wonder if your able to use a conversion adaptor from the wall to the power strip.

    @Mark Carew

    Is this only going to be through the OB parts store or will others such as ooznest be stocking this.

    Need to weigh up ordereing direct (presume possible import tax etc) or waiting for UK supplier.
