Cheap relay-coil/CCFL switching board for Propeller! Switch up to 18V with 3V!

Microcontrolled

Would anyone out there be interested in a small, cheap board that can switch a relay coil using a propeller. It is a simple transistor switch that is cheap yet effective. I am getting some boards made (through Gadget Gangster) that will fit the Propeller Platform. I have also designed a not-as-cheap Mega board that will drive 16 I/O lines. Both devices can switch up to 20V DC (low amps) or 120VAC 30A if used with a relay. This would be perfect for cheap high voltage control without any complex circuitry. This would also work to switch a CCFL inverter's power source. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Micro

P.S. Voltage is not switched, it is supplied from the Propeller Platform to avoid need for an outside voltage source.

I'm getting homemade "prototypes" made right now in ferric chloride. I'll have results in a while.

Well, the prototype didn't work so well, so the circuit only works on breadboard for now. Maybe I shouldn't get this made since there seems to be zero interest in it.

Hello..... Anyone out there?.......

A schematic of what you are tying to produce would give us a small insite of what you are trying to sell. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I don't have a picture, but I will put one up tomorrow. Here are the diptrace files, though.
