People have been tricking out e-bolts with other boards since the first DMLCD boards started getting cheap. It's easier to do with a DM4 or better board due to the fact that they used LED indicators and weren't as bulky. The original Tippmann Effect e-bolt was a DMLCD board IIRC and I felt like paying homage.

As for learning what points to solder to, etc. that was fairly easy so long as the old wiring harnesses were still in place. The biggest difficulty was making sure not to cross the polarity on the battery to board connection and the solenoid polarity. After that, it was simply a matter of desoldering the old connections, inserting stripped wire leads and re-soldering.

It doesn't hurt that I spent my 3 years in college as a Tippmann, AGD, Kingman, WGP, and WDP certified tech.

Looks purdy. It needs wood grips.
