12v Motor Driver Left-Right Control: Connection Issues and Solutions for Effective Operation

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I wire a 12 V motor for left/right direction control without causing a short circuit?

Your current wiring is making a short circuit; to reverse a 12 V motor you need an H-bridge or a proper reversing switch, not a simple two-position On/On switch [#16548286][#16548280][#16548310] If you use a reversing switch, connect the supply to the center terminal and the left/right outputs to the motor, but add a separate power switch so the motor can be turned off completely [#16548308][#16548397] A switch with three positions is also suggested as a better option for direction control [#16548420]

    12v Motor Driver Left-Right Control: Connection Issues and Solutions for Effective Operation

    Hello, I want to do engine control left right. I connected everything as in the picture above, but it doesn't work. What do you have to do to make it work?

    Thank you for all the help :)

    Draw a decent diagram of how you connected it, because here you can not see anything, and I do not think that it has the right to work.
    To control the direction of rotation of the motor, the H bridge is most often used.

    Can be seen. There is no right to act - you make a short circuit.
    You can use a double switch.

    I don't think I'd better draw it :D
    I suspected I was doing a short circuit but I wanted to check. I would like to use max 2 switches.

    You make a short circuit, I warned you about the current flow in your circuit after closing one of the switches.

    Is it possible that if I buy such a switch the control will work?

    This is more reasonable, but you still need a switch that will cut off the power completely.

    If it is two-way it will be, but the connection is bad.
    Center feed, left / right on the sides of the exit.
    And this switch has two positions - On / On. So the engine will run all the time.

    So adding to this switch will be good?

    As I wrote, the presented switch will change the direction of rotation and for this you need a power switch.

    You can also buy a switch that has 3 positions :) .

    It is not true, the connection is very good.
