[TriEmbed] Circuit Help

[Scott Hall]

You need to use an old trick with a DPDT switch:

+ in --------------------\
                         |
                  +------|------+
                  |  A   B   C------------- out +/-
                  |    --  --   |
                  |  D   E   F------------- out -/+
                  +------|------+
                         |          A---F  terminals
- in --------------------/          D---C  cross connected

It is a cross-over circuit.  When the relay is thrown right, C is +, and F
is -
When the relay is thrown left, C is -, and F is +
