Ok I have a switch with 3 leads. the leads are marked 1a 1 1b
How do these connect?I just wanna make sure my +'s and -'s wont cross causing a short in the system. I thought a rocker switch disconnected 1 of the leads. I tried searching google and here. Should I connect both -'s to the middle and both +'s to the side where it has on? That is making more sense to me since I believe 1 of the leads gets disconnected.
Thanks for your help.
nm I got it
I soldered the - ground both to the middle (one from the battery holder and the other from the picaxe) and I soldered the + voltage to the on from both also. And it works! Woot!
at least I am still learning lol 
Thanks Ant you saved my bot!
Check before you connect
Get a meter (measury thingy - Fristl speak) and test each connection on the switch, moviing it into different positions as you test. Just simple continuity testing, some meters will make a sound when a connection is conducting.
ya I should have…
But I still didnt know that the ground didnt get connected to the switch at all. That is what confused me.
