Ok Ok, I know this shouldn't be so difficult, but my stepper motor justs
sits on the bench and buzzes. I could put a sharp edge on it and shave I
suppose.
I purchased the Little Step U and a $7.50 stepper motor (unipolar,
12volt) from Parallax and I don't know what the correct wiring is.
Parallax didn't know and the documentation that came with the Little Step
U didn't say. Yes. I know this is very odd, but it's Friday evening,
everyone is gone for the weekend and I'm dying to get this motor turning.
The unipolar motor has 5 leads.
Black (common center tap) (I checked this out with an ohm meter)
Brown
Red
Green
White
The Little Step U has the following outputs:
Center Tap (I'l put the black motor lead on this)
A
B
C
D
Leaving the Brown wire on contact A I've tried every possible combo with
the remaining 3 wires. What else am I to do? Ideas ?? An Answer
perhaps??
