Phil Ritchey says: [When I] hooked up the motor in SERIAL Bi-POLAR conguration I discovered: Once wired into two each 2 coils sets, shorting the ends of either of those sets together LOCKS the motor. But if you get the ends of a coil identied wrong (Backwards), the coil will NOT LOCK. A further test that you got it correct. Questions:
@spam@keedos89901spam at live.com asks: From Bill Kruise Says, great info, I have the wires ID'ed 1-8, My question is how to apply the #'s to the drawing above, 1-8 as you go around the drawing? James Newton of Massmind replies: 1,2,3,4 are A+, A+', A-', A-. 5,6,7,8 are B+, B+', B-', B-.+ + @spam@macfarlanephspam at hotmail.co.uk asks: " Any information about an Astrosyn Minebea 28BB-H102 14 volt 7.5 degree 27 ohm stepper motor." + @spam@jamesgyorespam at yahoo.com asks: I have a rather backward question... I want to control a stepper motor without a controller or PC. I want to wire two stepper motors together so one is hand cranked, an alternator, that drives the second stepper motor... I just can't nd a diagram explaining how to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. James. @spam@stevespam at longdin.co.uk asks: Hello; i have a stepper motor by superior electric, slo-syn, sunchronous/stepping motor. type m061-fd-6002e. 5vdc. It has 8 wires. I cannot nd the product sheet. I even tried contacting superior electric, but with no reply. i can nd the pairs easy enough, but cannot gure out the correct way to connect up the wires to an arduino board. Any help at this point would be really appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out, and i havnt got much left!! James Newton of Massmind replies: Instructions for guring out the wiring of an 8 wire motor are just above on this page.+ +

@spam@natoral622167spam at yahoo.com asks: I want to use stepper motor to charge my 15 plates 12 Volts battery. How many stepper motors should I use for a possible parallel connection? What would be an appropriate way to make parallel connections to obtain suitable voltage and current? James Newton of James Newton's Massmind replies: Your question is apparently related to using a stepper motor as a generator, which I do not yet have any information about.+ + @spam@ryanspam at ylamericanwebinc.com asks: 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? James Newton replies: The only idea that comes to mind is to re 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.+ + @spam@yarr86spam at hotmail.com asks: hello: 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 James Newton replies: 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.+ + @spam@jbinikosspam at dslextreme.com asks: I have 4 axis Micro Step Motor drive with coil markings A,-A,B,-B. The 8 wire Stepper Motor has markings for Bi-Polar A,-A,-C, C,B,-B,-D,D. How do I connect the 8 motor wires to the 4 post of the Driver Board ?? @spam@arteezanspam at gmail.com asks: " is it possible to control the stepper

motor without using any ICs but using only pushbuttons and the voltage?" James Newton replies: Sure, and it is also possible to build a computer out of paper clips and ashlights, but why on earth would you want to?+ + @spam@michaelhspam at iae.nl asks: http://www.qsl.net/pe1rok It seems to me that the coils are labelled correctly, but placed wrong. A1 and A2 are each other's opposite instead of neighbors. On the 'steppers.htm' page it is right. On this page (wires.htm) it is not drawn right. The recipe to identify the wires is helpful. I may add that identifying wires with six (or 5-wire) motors the ohmmeter method is the easiest. Who really cares about the sequence. If it is not right, swap a1 and a2, or b1 and b2. James Newton replies: Yes, they were wrong, thank you for pointing that out. I've corrected them now, please let me know if these are again correct. + + @spam@proto_nspam at yahoo.com asks: " How to connect an old 6 wire / 3 independent coils bipolar stepper?" James Newton replies: Are you sure it has three independent coils? I'll bet it has 4 coils, two commons (one for each set of two coils) and 4 single coil wires. See the pictures above. If it really has three coils, I would guess it needs a special driver that produces 3 phases rather than the more common 4. @spam@proto_nspam at yahoo.com responds: To James Newton: My stepper (an old one, from Robotron printer) is a bipolar one because each coil must be separately powered to obtain (from each) a step and, after this sequence, I must reverse the polarity for each of them and maintain their order for the continuity of displacement (sense). I suppose, a triplet of H bridges must be the partial simplest solution. See also:
