Started with a blank PCB. This is a triple channel driver of the FET+1 family. The design is by pilotdog68.

Solder all of the components. Both sides!

Some testing to make sure it works, here is the driver side view of it assembled and wired together.

Here is a view outside with the full list of parts aside from host. Here is checking on the PWM signal controlling the 7135 regulator. It is on :)

Here is a short view of it in action. It uses Bistro-HD by flintrock/Toykeeper

I've been following along with your FB postings on FF, very cool! The firmware/ creating PC boards is well beyond my interest level. I'm much happier working on bodies and such. So it is really great that there are others willing to expand our hobby even further

Dual/triple channel driver is currently a hype. Can you advise where to get MPCB which has secondary LED?

Mountain Electronics is where I bought the MCPCB. You need to buy and reflow the small 1616 emitters (Cree XQ-A, XQ-D, XQ-E, XD16, Samsung LH181A )
