Hey guys, need help connecting a DPDT switch. I have a motor and want the switch to be able to rotate the motor both ways.
Please help me out.

I apologise for the poorly drawn circuit diagram, but this is how to connect it so that when you flip the switch the motor changes direction.

Basically you want one lead from the motor connected to the middle two connections on the switch, and the other lead connected to the other two 'output' pins on the switch. Then connect the +ve rail to one 'input' on the switch and 0v to the other.

I hope that makes sense

If not, I'll try and explain it better (with a better circuit diagram).

I get it. Thank you. The switch that I have has 6 terminals. Please tell me if the connections are correct. I hope I've got you right. Plannin to make a 4 wheeled simple vehicle for college fest.

Normally the two pins in the middle are the supply. However, your drawing looks like it should work. Be sure to reply if it doesn't work right, and I'll see what I can do.
