Reversing motor wiring question?

[astjp2]

This is the diamond lap that I am building, I will need to put the switch in an enclosure and I have a new .090 six pin molex connector to connect the motor to the switch. Tim

Well I spent a couple of hours and figured out the wiring. It took 6 individual switches. I now have to put the wiring bundle in an enclosure and get it working. Tim

This is the rats nest that I got to work.

The diamond lapper looks good. I figured it would take 6 contact blocks to do it, 3 on each side or 2 for forward, 2 for reverse, & 2 to supply power to the capacitor in each direction. Once I get my printer/scanner working with my Linux OS I'll begin sending sketches.

I'm using a Linux distro & haven't gotten my printer or scanner to work yet.

What problems are you having? I know quite a bit about Linux.

Hi John, thanks for the offer. This is off topic so we probably ought to continue this as a PM but I have submitted this issue to the developer [Zorin OS] for support. If I don't hear back from them I'll contact you. Regards.
