Apr 23, 2021 at 13:47 comment added Cody Awesome, thanks. Made a wiring diagram on Falstad.com which seems to be working exactly as intended, with the omission of D1. I understand the function and purpose of diodes to some degree, but could you please expand on the purpose of D1? tinyurl.com/ygckshey

Apr 23, 2021 at 9:05 comment added Cody Where do I connect the bottom three (signal ground?) points? Do they go to the negative side of the relay coils? I have drawn up a rough wiring diagram to help me better understand app.luminpdf.com/viewer/60828a1eefd5bf0011d2ba28 The two loops (Forward & backward) are separated for clarity.

Apr 22, 2021 at 13:05 comment added Cody Thank you very much for your help. Didn't even know optocouplers are a thing. Thanks for teaching me, I hope you have a great week further. (I don't have enough rep to vote you as the answer)
Apr 22, 2021 at 13:00 comment added Unimportant @Cody Updated the schematic. Those relays require a hefty amount of current so I changed the switching transistor to a N-Channel MOSFET.

Modified schematic for relay current requirements.
Apr 22, 2021 at 12:27 comment added Cody Question has been updated :)
Apr 22, 2021 at 12:22 comment added Unimportant @Cody The current the relays require to operate.
Apr 22, 2021 at 12:19 comment added Cody Are you referring to the current draw the coils need to operate or are you referring to the current that the motor will be drawing through the relays?
