We made a device out of a momentary DPDT switch and one of those many 20 amp fuses we’ve collected over the years, which takes input from a battery and outputs using our favorite connectors, and allows you to drive a motor forward or backwards. It has been very handy in prototyping, as it cuts out the alligator clips (fire hazard) or the RC and OI (waste of programmers’ time).
