Circuitry.
Rules
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Between line rules apply. Cells along lines between two filled circles must have values between those in the circles.
The lines in purple, that all overlap between lines, additionally form renban lines. Digits along each renban line must be a set of consecutive digits in any order, and must not repeat.
A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

I hope you continue these puzzles as I enjoy them thoroughly but can understand the sentiment. For those who may be hesitant to approach, the logic is straightforward and smooth. The disambiguation is nice once you find the inflection point.

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. Clearly something isn't quite connecting for these. While I don't need them to be wildly popular, it is helpful getting some feedback.
