How to wire “motor party” 6-wire stepper
the stepper that comes in the “Motor Party” kit has a 6-wire lead, with wires colored brown, green, black, orange, red, yellow.
I’ve determined that one coil is the first three wires: brown, center tap is green, black; and the other coil is the next 3 wires: orange, center tap is red, yellow.
It looks like the 5-terminal blocks on the motor shield both have ground in the center, so I guess the center taps connect there.
Suppose I’m looking at the motor shield with the servo headers in the upper left, so the terminal block with M1 and M2 is on the left, and the terminal block with M3 and M4 is on the right. Given the info above, can someone fill in a table like this:
L1: {wire color} R1: {wire color}
L2: {wire color} R2: …etc.
L3: green? both red amp green?
L4: …etc.where “L1″ is the top (closest to the servo headers) connection of the left (L) terminal block (and R1, R2, etc. correspondingly for the right block). I’m thinking that with only one stepper, only one of the terminal blocks needs to be used? The motor shield says it can drive two steppers, so that would be logical.

Hi All! I'm doing a Lab playing a bit with a stepper motor... I've seen lots of threads about stepper motor in this forum BUT each one is slightly different...so I decided to post mine! First of all, I always like to set up my hardware connection right before I jump into the software part! Here's what I have: a stepper motor (SM55-4801, 12 volts, 36 Ohms coil, Fuji Electrochemical co.), a L298n H-bridge. The stepper motor has 6 wires: 2 groups (orange, red, yellow and black, green, brown). - I did some readings...and I want to confirm if the stepper moter is unipolar since ...I have a six-wire stepper motor, and I'm trying to get it up and running with either the basic two-wire control setup. It buzzes, but doesn't turn. Here's a pic of the layout: +12v is at the lower right, Arduino is lower left, upper right is the stepper. Stepper info: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1ampstoreId=10001ampcatalogId=10001ampproductId=238538 http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/238538.pdf On the stepper, I've determined that yellow and white are my common/center wires. Here's my chart to prove that: As you might be able to tell from the circuit, I'm using Tom Igoe's stepper motor wiring, using the two-wire control method. I've wired the yellow and white to +12V, and the ULN pin 8 to ...Hie every one as part of my project i had bought 3 stepper motor.It is frm SHINANO KENSHI manufacturers. 1.model no is sjh-39D160 1.8 degree step sequence. wire colors are. 1 white 1 Red 1 Orange 1 Brown 1 Red 1 Yellow 2.it is also from Shinano kenshi manufactures having 5 wire but no clours are there for each wires,having TEAC -some model no(model no part is teared off) having on motor.It is having step sequence of 1.8 degrees. 3.Un able to find model no but having 6 wires ,step sequence of 90 degrees 2-RED wires 1-Yellow 1-Black 1-Orange 1-tan color I am also upload the pics of all motor.please help me in finding which wire ...I am confused by trying to set the constructor for AccelStepper. I have been trying the example programs (for example, Random.pde) but the stepper motor never turns. The AccelStepper object seems to work correctly reporting position, speed, etc. However, the motor never turns. I can turn the motor by hand fairly easily - it is stiff, but certainly not locked strongly in place. The motor is the $14 one from Adafruit: ID 324, 200 steps, bipolar 4 wire motor. The Motor Shield instructions indicate to attach the wires into the screw terminals in the order red, yellow, skip ground, green, brown. However, ...I am for the first time hooking up a stepper motor to an arduino uno with an Arduino motorshield R3 mounted to it. I have taken a six lead unipolar motor and wired it so that, as I understood it, could be used as a bipolar stepper. the first coil had for the NPR 23 : Black and green with a center tap Yellow, then for the second coil Red and Blue with the center tap White. The instructions I found where to take the center tap Yellow and White and connect them to the ground terminal then hook up Blk ...Hello, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I just assembled the motor shield, attached it to a Duemilanove with a ATMEGA 328 chip and attached one of the small steppers per the instructions (black and orange to ground, brown and green to m3, red and yellow to m4) uploaded the stepper test but all that happens is the motor studders and begins to overheat. any suggestions?Hello I'm using a BS2e module, a Board of Education Development Board - Serial Version, and a 6 wire- 9.5 V stepper motor. The weird thing is I only connect the 4 phases only, without the 2 RED wires connected (Power wires) the motor still running. My question is do I need to connect all 6 wires? And does the torque of the motor decrease because of the RED wires not connected? Here is the diagram I connect for the 4 phases: ' P4 -gt ULN2003.1, ULN2003.16 -gt Phase 1 (Black) ' P5 -gt ULN2003.2, ULN2003.15 -gt Phase 2 (Orange) ' P6 -gt ULN2003.3, ULN2003.14 ...Hi I am using the motor shield and the PF35T-48L4 stepper motor that i got from adafruit. I determined that the 2nd and 5th wires are the center taps and connected them to ground on the shield. I connect coil 1 to M1 and coil 2 to M2. Power up the shield with a 5V power supply, the green LED glows. Loaded the following sketch onto Arduino UNO. #include ltAFMotor.hgt AF_Stepper motor(48, 2); void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // set up Serial library at 9600 bps Serial.println("Stepper test!"); motor.setSpeed(10); // 10 rpm motor.step(100, FORWARD, SINGLE); motor.release(); delay(1000); } void loop() { motor.step(100, FORWARD, SINGLE); motor.step(100, BACKWARD, SINGLE); motor.step(100, FORWARD, DOUBLE); motor.step(100, BACKWARD, DOUBLE); motor.step(100, FORWARD, ...I am in the middle of working through the motor shield and have an 8 wire unipolar stepper motor. I have identified the a+ a- b+ b- wires 1 is a+ 2 is a+ 3 is a- 4 is a- 5 is b+ 6 is b+ 7 is b- 8 is b- and I am a bit confused as to the hook up sequence to the motor shield. I have been using steppers for a number of things recently and have had to use 4 wires a+ a-, b+ b- to run them, and know that the remaining wires are ...I am trying to configure a stepper motor and create my own driver, more as a learning experience than anything. I mean, I know I could buy a driver relatively cheap, but then I wouldn't learn anything. And heaven knows if there is one thing I could use, it is to learn something. Anyway, I have a stepper motor (selected blindly), and a pic microcontroller, some transistors, and some diodes. I understand how to identify the wires as to which ones are connected to each common through the resistance method. However, I am still scratching my head about which order ...I've recovered a stepper motor from an old scanner. There are 6 wires coming from it: White, Blue, Red, Yellow and 2 Brown. It's a Teco type 4H4018S0106 marked 12V, 0.2A, 1.8Deg. The Teco site shows some 6 wire steppers, but none of them have those colour wires and there's no archival records to look up. How do I connect it to a motor shield and get the neccessary phase shifts?Hi, I am an electronics beginner that just completed my motor shield and would like to connect the 6-wire stepper motor that came with my motor kit. However, the documentation online (http://www.ladyada.net/make/mshield/use.html) only covers 4 and 5 wire stepper motors. How does one connect a 6-wire stepper motor to the motor shield? I want to make sure that I'm doing it right so as not to cause damage to my board or my motor. Thank you!Hi, I am trying to interface with a stepper motor, but I am having trouble with this particular stepper motor, it has 8 wires, from what I've read, it can be wired as a unipolar or bipolar (series, parallel). The motor is a Tamagawa TS3166N913. In the nameplate it says 4.3 ohm/0.9 deg/step 400s/r Their website no longer has the datasheet for this particular motor. I was already able to identify which wires are paired: gray and purple - 2.2 ohms white and red - 5.2 ohms blue and yellow - 5.2 ohms orange and black - 2.2 ohms I tried wiring it as a bipolar parallel by connecting ...hi all, i don't know how to connect tyhe wires of the stepper motor along with the 89c51 . there are totally 6 wires in it . and the motors type is KP39HM4-018 and it seems to be japanese make that works for 5v. the colors of the wires are 1 brown , 2 red , 1 black , 1 yellow and 1 orange . where can i get the exact dataheets for my motor type?can anyone suggest me?is there any forum for stepper motor,where i could get more information?I purchased 3 of the 4 wire stepper motors and need to know which wires go together as pairs to hook them up to the control shields wire colors are red ,green ,grey, and yellowHi, I recently purchase Stepper motor - 200 steps/rev, 12V 350mA - ID: 324 Can any one here provide me some help on color code. This motor have 4 wires, red, yellow, green, and brown.Recently I purchased 2 stepper motors from Adafruit. They are both the 12v, 350mA ID#324 motors. Before I first hooked the motors up to my Adafruit Motorshield, which I just completed, I checked the resistance of the coils. On one motor I got 33 ohms between the red and yellow wire and infinite resistance between the green and brown wires. On the other motor I got 32 ohms between the green and brown wires and infinite resistance between the red and yellow wires. When I run the motors one at a time off M1/M2 or M3/M4 on the motorshield, all ...Hi there I'd like to know if anyone has a simple schematic to connect a stepper motor to a microcontroller. I'm a little new to electronics and would also appreciate a simple explanation on how stepper motor works. Is it possible to connect a stepper motor to a pic16f627a without the driver chip or is there an alternative circuit I can build? I have a 12V, 6 Ohm stepper motor with 4 wires (red, yellow, brown, black - the red and yellow wires have continuity and the brown and black wires as well). thanks in advance JeanTechI have an UNO with the motor shield, and I am trying to control a 6-wire stepper motor that is 4.2V and 2A. I figured out which wires go to which phase, and which are the center taps. The control works fine for about 1 minute, then the chip gets ouch! hot and the motor makes erroneous movements. I changed the power supply to one that supplies more current, and I tried the SN754410 getting the same results, and I stacked about 8 of the L293D and SN754410 on top of each other with a heat sink, and that seems ...I am looking at a new project which involves controlling an MP35SP-7N stepper motor rescued from an old scanner. I know I need to control it via a darlington array such as the ULN2003 but I do not know which of the wires on the stepper motor to connect to what! I don't know if this is a unipolar or Bipolar stepper. There are Red, Orange, Yellow, Brown amp Black wires. I assume the Red is power and the others are the coils and are therefore connected to the outputs of the ULN2003. Is this correct?
