No, and I didn't realize how close everything was packed in there. I'm just referencing the Megasquirt which to me should be way more complicated electronics wise, yet they put together a kit that allows the DIYer to build it. If it can't be done I understand, but I just thought I'd ask.

Yes. Pretty much anything but BGA and QFN
I'm familiar with the mega squirts, the kits are designed to be DIY and the kits use pretty much only through hole parts.
In the SSPB design, matching the OEM fuse box foot print was a big driver, not so much because of board area but the narrow space available to squeeze the 10 pin molex connector in on one end and still carry 10 amps per channel. I was well into the layout before I was even sure if I could even make it fit with a 2 layer board. Nothing is super small (I try not to go below 1mm spacing), but other than the power parts they are all soldered/reflowed using a magnifying glass. I'm not saying that nobody will be able to do it, but it will be very few and not really worth the bother.
Then the whole thing is epoxy bonded to the heat sink, now I have to have instruction on that. I have learned the hard way that the 50-50 mixture has to be very close otherwise the thing never goes off and you just have a bunch of goo on the parts and $10 worth of wasted epoxy.
I use my test box to test this thing several times including stressing/testing before I commit to the epoxy encapsulation. You want instruction on how to build a production test box as well.

my 2 cents love it
built like tank and tested, works great
Yes i could build one but i am one of the few who can do SSI (small scale intergration) when my hands will work :>)
keep up the excellent work Posplayr!

Lets get realistic here guys. The stock replacement for my fuse box is about $45.00, and good fuse boxes replacements a lot more than that. If you are not willing to pay a fair price for what Jim is proposing, it's never going to get off the ground. Just my two cents.

For me I liked the build quality of the original I am the kind of person that would rather pay more to get the best and I feel the original was easily worth $200
Standard fitment doesn't bother me as I mounted mine under the tank.
i hope you get more of these made I would put one on any of my future project bikes
keep up the good work jim
