Hello. I am working on a project and I have run into my first real snag. The project is an underwater ROV that can carry a high def video camera. I have the frame built and I am installing the motors right now. I have two rear motors for Forward/Reverse and Left/Right
I have 2 DPDT switches that I have crossed the terminals on so that they reverse the current flow when switched from one direction to the other. I can get both motors to go in forward and reverse using just a single DPDT switch but I am having trouble when adding the second switch for Left and Right. Ideally Left would turn on just the right motor and Right would turn on just the left motor. (or even have the opposite motor go in reverse as well to aid in turning)
I am stuck adding the Left and Right functionality to the circuit Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be achieved? Or what I may be doing wrong? I have attached a poorly mocked up photo to describe what I have so far. Thanks.
