I think the explanation is obvious. One (or both) of us is inept.
Since we've already seen your circuit can't work, and I've explained why, the most plausible choice of those three possibilities seems pretty clear.
Yes it is very clear since at every turn I proved you wrong. 1 misplaced a line on a diagram, compared to
three useless diagrams that you produced, does definitely show the scales tip a certain way. You had three chances to show good working circuit. While a misplaced line will keep the circuit from operating, it definitely won't short it out either. All three of yours do. So while mine will not damage anything yours does. So if people follow mine nothing will be lost, while if they use yours they can expect losses. Again that seems to be clear which is better.
Not to mention that I actually produced a working circuit, using a diode no less, and I showed it in the simulation.
You kept harping on it being cheaper yet that too I proved you wrong. Of course since you having to buy in bulk goes along with you having to constantly replace parts.
So yeah one inept person is definitely possible here but definitely not both.
BTW "Well, since neither of your limit switches shows any connection to their NC contact, it's simple to see this circuit can never work." stating that there is no connection to a NC, does not explain why it will never work. "Since we've already seen your circuit can't work, and I've explained why", that just says what it says.
Also BTW my diagram, or the actual circuit, can be fixed just by moving the wire from NO to NC. You still haven't show how yours can ever be fixed.
Now saying that, with no NC connection to a permanent negative, the latching circuit will not maintain that connection to negative when the other limit switch makes a connection to negative aka trigger the circuit.
That's what people call an explanation.
There all fixed. Moved the line and all parts were never in any danger of damage. Not to mention that if people had trouble with it, they could have figured it out, since if you figured it out then anyone can. Now let's see how your gets fixed. Looking forward to it.
OH and there was no need to get snarky. I merely gave another option. You made a claim and I debuttled.
