While I can't offer that sort of help, I'd be more than willing to
help test such a design by building pre-release boards and verifying
functionality on them. I've actually been looking for an excuse to
get better at SMT soldering, so I'm willing to invest the time, and
money, on the necessary parts/tools.
So, if that comes up, down the road, let me know. I'm super excited
about this project.
