Re: Making a forward only speed control reverse

one thing from your post is not clear - you mentioned one side of the motor is ground

does that mean chassis ground? is there a ground wire or is the case of the motor ground - like the starter motor on a car?

to use a relay to reverse direction, you must have wires for the pos and gnd connection, or you will need to isolate the motor from the chassis (if its like a car starter motor)
