Greetings...my first post here.
I have a reversible motor and I would like to have one switch run the motor one direction (when pressed) then another switch run the motor the other direction (when pressed). Then have the motor not run at all when the switches aren't pressed.
The motor has four wires (blue, black, yellow and red) and runs with a permanent split capacitor. It's a 110v ac motor.
The directions say:
-Twist the blue and black wires together with one line from the AC.
-The red line goes to one side of the capacitor and the yellow goes to
the other side.
-The other line from the AC goes to the yellow side of the capacitor.
-Then, to reverse the motor - simply switch the red and black wires.
Seems simple enough but after days puzzling over this I can't figure it out. I'm an inventor but not much experience with electricals.
I have a bunch of SPDT switches and four 8-pin relays. (octal configuration)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
