I came across a diagram online about how toggle switches connect... And now i think in using it wrong.
I assumed that with a DPDT toggle (on/on) that with a cap on each side, you select by toggling towards the cap you want.
However... The diagram showed me that it's opposite.... Toggle the opposite of the cap wanted to connect it.
So I'm confused.

Re: Using toggle switches
The toggle selects the cap on the opposite side. You can test connections with a multimeter.

Re: Using toggle switches
Ha ha. I'm buying multi meter this weekend.
I think enough people told me I should.
Ha ha.
I'm such a noob that I really don't even know how to use one!
Thanks for clearing that up. Lesson learned!
