http://www.piclist.com/techref/io/stepper/wires.asp Peter's script which
works out the wiring for you given some resistance measurements.

It doesn't seem to work for 8 wire motors, but for 6 it is fine. Anyone want
to help work out the 8 wire part of the script?

Subject: [EE] Finding stepper-motor pin configurations

So, I got a bunch of stepper motors (unipolar I think, six cables).
None of the motors have the same color schemes of the cables, and I
have no datasheets.

Is there an empirical method to find out which of the six cables is which?
