    Default Re: Switch

    There are 4 pole double throw switches available If you must do it that way. Be sure to turn the power off before moving the switch so yo u don't blow the driver. I would find a way to add another stepper driver instead.

    You could actually get away with a DPDT switch and just the positive leads and leave the negatives connected. Again, power off switching only.

    Cool Re: Switch

    As @rcheli write ALWAYS TURN OFF power before flipping a switch or your tight budget will be blown with the drivers
