Solution Description
When S1 CW is pressed, the circuit is turned on, the current will pass through relay K1.1 where it powers relay K1.3 wherein
switch K1.3 powers the circuit on the lower left turning the stepper into clockwise mode. from switch K1.3, the current passes
through relay K1 after the current has passed through the line of relay K1, the 2nd line below relay K1 then powers on and the
line where relay K1 is located is turned off, then powers on relay K2 , then powers switch K2 then lights the LED that is
connected to K2, as it passes through all the way to relay K2 the current then transfer to the 3rd line of the circuit powering
relay K3 and switch K3 then is turned on powering the LED connected to relay switch K3 and then current then passes through
relay K4 and switch K4(lower Middle Circuit) when relay switch K4 is then turned on, the LED connected to relay switch K4 is
turned on. When S2 CCW is pressed the cycle is then turned into counterclockwise instead of the current passing through relay
K1.3, when S2 CCW is pressed the current now passes through relay K1.4 powering the lower right side circuit where relay
switch k1.4 is located.
