|Insert 'Notice from the pictures at the top of this page that a 6 wire unipolar motor looks just like a 4 wire bipolar motor if you simply ignore (do not connect) the "common" leads (A and B in the pictures) and instead connect only A-, A+, B-, and B+. Figuring out which lead is which is what the rest of the page is all about.' at: '<!-- 39591.2294328704 EOR -->'

hello:<BR>
i bought a steper motor from farnell comp they didn't give us  data sheet for the steppr ,the stepper has 6 leads ,driver also comes with the stepper i need to knw how can connect these pins to the driver,the driver take only 4 leads but what bout the other two,are they gruonded or what?plz help me</BLOCKQUOTE>

|Insert 'The only idea that comes to mind is to fire up the controller with a set of resistors connected from each output to ground. Then measure what the outputs do after each step pulse is applied. What resistor value to use? I have no idea.' at: '<!-- 39597.4458912037 EOR -->'

I have an older animatics 4 axis unipolar stepper controller and I would like to connect an 8 wire 2 phase Vexta stepper motor to it.  The controller has output leads numbered 1-8 with no markings of A,-A,B,-B.  Is there any way of testing the driver output leads to know which 8 leads of the motor (A,-A, A,-A, B,-B, B,-B) to connect to the driver leads 1-8?</BLOCKQUOTE>
