Greetings.
Basically I want 2 momentary pushbuttons to control dc motor forwards and reverse. I'm not a total noob but after wiring up this project several different ways without success my brain is fried. This is one of those situation where you know you're making a simple mistake but can't see what it is.
I've searched and read ALL the posts on this topic but none of them have clarified it enough for my use case. All threads and diagrams included specific switch types (SPST, SPDT, etc...) and I do not know what type my switches are considered, if any of those at all. My switch has 6 total blade tabs coming out of it. I've linked the amazon page below.
I have:
2 push button momentary switches
-10A rated
- Switch
1 DC motor
-5A
I wired up 1 switch with the included directions and it worked as intended with no issues. Spun my motor. I want to wire a second one of these with reverse polarity to spin the motor the opposite direction.
Given the above items, and only those items (I'm aware I can use relays to mitigate the wear on the contacts, I'm aware of using diodes to mitigate the back EMF, will move on to that in a future project), can someone help me out with a simple diagram that shows me where to connect what? I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
David
