Paint sprayer distributed control and output volume monitoring architectures

A spray system comprising:

• a sprayer for spraying spray fluid, the sprayer comprising:
• a pump that outputs spray paint under pressure for spraying;
• a motor that drives the pump;
• a drive cycle indicator configured to output a plurality of cycle status indications of the pump;
• a wireless module configured to wirelessly send and receive information;
• and
• control circuitry configured to receive the plurality of cycle status indications of the pump, determine a plurality of output values representing paint spray fluid output volume over a plurality of time windows based on the plurality of cycle status indications of the pump, store the plurality of output values in memory, and cause the wireless module to transmit one or more of the stored plurality of output values externally from the sprayer.
