wiring 4V 4phase linear actuator with BS2

Hi All,

I just purchased a 4V 4ph 1.8A 1.8deg linear actuator LA23GCKB-1

link to wiring diagram - last page of pdf - (https://www.google.com/urlsa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.electrocraft.com%2Ffiles%2Fead_step.pdf&ei=sOrgUabUBKeEjALtnoGwCQ&usg=AFQjCNGSD0RzDolaq_Ad0PeeYEQhLZoREg&sig2=cQeGJFcQaF3cwC3PtKjFZg&bvm=bv.48705608,d.cGE)

Mine has 6 wires (red, red/white, green, green/white, black, and white). I wired it as: red = phase 1, red/white = phase 2, green = phase 3, and green/white = phase 4. Black and white not connected. I wired this according to the stepper motor example (#27) in the stampworks book, with the L293D driver, and used the the code from this example from parallax (http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/prod/motors/Stepper_Motor_27964.pdf). When I run it, the motor has a very slight vibration, but the screw doesn't rotate. Any thoughts on how I can get this to work?

Note - I tried this same set-up with the parallax stepper motor and it worked.

Thanks,
Nick
