Hey Alex - sorry, just saw this. I thought about using the 115v as well (the fact that you could just 1:1 rectify is tempting) but for something that I'm placing in people's homes I didn't want a direct mains connection.
I would definitely be willing to sell the boards, not sure yet on price. I still need to see whether I'm going to reflow them in-house or outsource it. Shoot me an email ([email protected]) and we can chat about it.
