so, the diodes

I was looking at what was avialabl at the Radio shack, and they have 5 pin relays that will take around 2 amps, I think.


I was wondering if the diode was needed. I figure the attachments would be like this:

ground to normally open pin, and - for switch
+(motor lead) to the +for switch
+(direct to battery) to power lead
motor to output lead.

if you do that for both of your motor leads, wouldn't it automatically be - unless the relay is activated?
