is there a way to determine the amp/phase of a stepper motor een if there's no label?i hae this stepper from an old epson c45 printer.<!-- 39342.8620601852 EOR -->

|Insert 'Measure the resistance of the coil, set a supply voltage that will allow only a half amp or so to pass through the motor, then gradually increase the voltage until the motor starts to over heat. Be very patient and give it a lot of time for the temperature to stabilize.' at: '<!-- 39342.8610185185 EOR -->'

    again, the telescope maniac. The strangest thing happened: the linistepper
    was driving the stepping motor but the pulser's adjustments weren't responding
    - on a whim, I disconnected the pulser, and I was right...the linistepper
    kept driving the motor!!! I can't see the class-D power supply I have in
    the control cabinet putting out a pulse, yet there's no other circuitry
    onboard...what do you think is going on? Oh, I decided I will sort out everything
    this time, THEN I'll send you the pictures! One favor, though: after hearing
    how the modern commercial 'scopes allow you to track using ANY planet's orbit,
    switch back and forth, etc, I want to (eventually) have a PC drive the 'scope
    - can you recommend any software designed for the task? ANY links, sites,
    tips will be researched...and, of course, appreciated. thanks again, Carl
