We just did a custom project for another company for two seperate
boards, one with 8 relays, the other with 8 opto-isolated inputs. No
microcontroller on-board, though, the company we did this for is using
our MAVRIC-IIB to drive. Let me know if this is something you might
be interested in. We will be offering both these boards for sale on
our web site pretty soon.
The relay board is pretty interesting in that it uses a highly
efficient switching regulator which has enough capacity to power other
circuits as well, and accepts power input of 5.5V up to 24V yet still
runs nice and cool to the touch. Our relays are 1A, though, as
opposed to 5A of the Sparkfun board you linked to, not sure if that
would be a show stopper for you or not, or the fact that ours are two
seperate boards as opposed to combined onto one.
Let me know if you might be interested.
