Help With Flow Controller

[Lezreth]

I have developed a perfect count flow controller using the circuit network that works great for vanilla ore processing, but I have run into trouble in using the Hard Crafting mod. This mod introduces new sub-materials that can be refined/smelted into the basic plates. The problem I am running into is trying to adapt the flow controller to accommodate the new materials, specifically iron nuggets and pulverized iron, both of which can be smelted into plates. When ore is sent through the counter, it is counted accurately, then when plates are collected one ore is prioritized for subtraction. When the first reaches zero, the count for the second ore starts to decrease. When all plates have been accounted for, the count for the second ore is left at 1 when it should be zero.

Help in figuring this out would be much appreciated as this is driving me insane.

How it works:
R-S Latch watches the iron plates in the system and when it gets too low it lets new ore into the smelter by enabling a controlled belt tile
The next belt tile counts the ore as it flows by and sends each type to their own counter
The ore counts are then converted to virtual ore and added to the total ore count, because once they are in the smelter section they are pretty much plates at that point
When the newly smelted plates come out the other end they enter storage via inserters that count the plates as they put them in
The plate count from the inserters is sent to a signal inverter which subtracts (adds the negative) count to the ore counter
