hgordon:
I would suggest wiring all of the ground connections together (charger, battery, microcontroller) -  then you only have to switch the +V side of your power.

How are you powering the microcontroller ?  You could use a voltage regulator to source power from the motor supply.

Jon_Wayne:
im using a seperate 9v battery and regulator for simplicity for now, ill probably end up switching later on though.

hgordon:
No problem - in any case, I would suggest coupling all the grounds throughout the circuit, since they will probably couple through the motor controller anyhow.

Jon_Wayne:
how would i do that? like this??
