Re: Limit Switch help

I don't see any physics-breaking issues with this.
The "overriding" of the limit switch would just be a coding exercise of temporarily ignoring the limit switch value. Whether the limit switch would be able to deal with the actuator moving past it without breaking the switch is another question. If you are dead set on doing this, I would highly encourage you to make sure the actuator can clear the switch without damaging the switch and to make sure the switch would still work correctly after doing so.
I do think there is probably a better method of controlling your actuator that this, though. Moving anything past a limit switch is just asking for trouble.
