The Mega2560 chip would be a royal pain to solder, but not impossible. Trouble is- the time spent to design the PcB, hunt down and order the components, build the completed unit, and write the software, It would still only provide you with up to14 pwm channels and 8bit dimming performance. The StormX controller has 16 channels and 12bit dimming with "no assembly required" .LOL
I was just thinking of throwing together a mega and some shields. Nothing too complicated. I'm thinking the programming would be the hard part. At least for me.
