Adjustable step-up voltage regulator help

Hi,

I’m trying to increase the voltage to speed up a motor, I got the Pololu 4-12 volts regulator U3V50ALV, the regulator works but it only runs the motor in one direction, and I know why. Does any one knows how to wire it to get it to reverse poles and to get the motor to run in both forward and reverse?

Thanks.

Hello.

You might be able to connect a DPDT switch or relay to the output of the regulator to get simple forward and reverse control. Another option would be using a motor controller with an H-bridge. You can see the motor controllers we carry here.
