Current setup: 2 independent motors each controlled by separate solenoids, separate batteries, and separate switches. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. When I toggle switch A (forward), both motors need to run in the same direction (forward). Likewise, when I toggle switch A (reverse), both motors need to run in same direction (reverse)
2. When I toggle switch B (forward), both motors need to run in the opposite direction (motor A forward and motor B reverse). Likewise, when I toggle switch B (reverse), both motors need to run in the opposite direction (motor A reverse and motor B forward).
I thought that simply connecting A1 from Solenoid A to A1 on solenoid B and likewise connecting A2 from Solenoid A to A2 on Solenoid B would do the trick, but nothing.
I know I am missing something that should be fairly simple here, but I am stumped and cannot figure this out. Attached is an image of my current setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
