HOW TO: Wire a DPDT rocker switch for reversing polarity

Step 4Done!

Done!
Done! Now we can connect the power to the switch and wire the DC motor to the switch so it can reverse direction.

I use these for linear actuators (http://www.FirgelliAuto.com/), but you can just as easily use these for any DC motor where you need to reverse the polarity to change the direction of the motor.

Cheers!

Nicely and neatly done. You can do this with a DPDT relay as well, and get electrical control of direction.
