Use timer and maximum combined on inserters
Yo Factorio fans,

Here I am again with another question. I watched this video of Nilaus how to use circuit networks for inserters:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLb8TJ6-Z2M&t=1538s
At around 28: he explains how to use a timer on inserters. It works. However, I am interested to extend the functionality by limiting the quantity in the right chest. In other words, the left inserter should stop, at the moment that there are 10 pieces iron ore in the right chest.
So I extended the the logic by adding a arithmetic combinator. Thus an and function, the timer and maximum 10 pieces of iron ore in the chest. The arithmetic combinator output should control the left inserter. It does not work. Is there anybody that could help me out. In the next message is the screen shot.

Why "in the next message" for the screenshot?

Oh well, your best bet is to use two decider combinators (one for each condition) outputing on the same signal (say A) at the value of 1.
Use those two output for your inserters and check for A=2 as the enable condition.

Sorry Fel. I had to wait for permission for publication of my question. My post is published now.

Looks like I am still doing something wrong. So I placed 2 decider combinators like this:

Then the top decider (connected to the chest ) combinator has this logic:

The bottom one, connected to the inserter has this logic:

Just so you know, this is a forum, not a chat, so you can post more than one line at a time and even edit your post (to add the screenshot for example).
While I am at it, the url for the screenshots is not the right one, from the links you gave you need to go to the "share" button (here at the bottom of the image, in other cases in the cogwheel menu on the right of it depending on where the comments are shown) and copy the link from there instead.

You might want to have the one for the quantity of ores in the chest to output to 1 instead of "input count".
