Hmm, wondered why www.automags.org was on my Stats page, now I know 
A few answers, in reverse order:
FooTemps: Tried that, got the wire ripped of the gun the first time I had to dive into a bush. Since I ran the wire along the top of the gun, it hasn't been an issue. Also, I could feel the wire when I switched shooting hands, and was worried I would get caught up in it when I switched to the other side of a bunker to shoot.
Mossman: True, would be cheaper, it would also change the profile of the gun, and not work on guns without a rear sight rail. Tried this one too Sad to say, I was bunkered, and the roller switch took a hit, and didn't handle it well.
Me: If I could get it lower, I would. Between the custom boards, and the machining done for the pneumatic housing, I can't. The power switch on the board, alone, is $6.20. I wanted a product that would last, so I was force to pick parts that will take abuse. I could go with a non-sealed power switch, and hope it survives, but I simply don't work that way.
SyntaxError: Thought about it, but two things caused a problem. First, size. Add in the extra board, a battery, and something to broadcast the signal, and the pneumatic housing gets a hell of a lot bigger.
Second, I am not an electrical engineer. The (On) delay board was enough of a pain, as it is.
For those that want the delay boards for a mag intelli-feed system, without the pneumatics, I'm sure that can be done. One reason I felt forced to use a new board was the pulse action of the paddle at high ROF. It seems to bounce the paint away from the feed tube when the loader ran low on paint. The board also allows the loader to be converted back to use with an eye, and a way to shut the loader off when the gun is degassed.
