[SOLVED] help in Step motor wires and use it

[vishy71]

Hi all

I have take off a step motor from a printer.but i don't know how can i use it!
can u help me plz?
it has 6 wires.

First you need to define which wire conected to which windings.
Have look at here Stepper Motor wiring with meter and battery
Then see wiki Phase current waveforms

Your motor is unipolar stepper motor (6-wires , 4 coils)

Google .... unipolar stepper schematic ( or circuit) etc...etc..
there is lots of info.

Can you elaborate? As KAK mentioned, you have a unipolar stepper. So do you what to control it with a MCU?

thanks.but my problem is not this!
i don't kow wires.you must know witch wires are paired to can use them!

It’s a very useful link in post #2, did you have time to read the information about :’’ How to figure out the internal wiring of a stepper motor using a meter and a battery’’? It’s not so complicated to do, but you need some time to spend and lot of patience, we can’t help you in this matter without having a similar motor on the desk.

Examining a Stepper Motor - General

if motor have " some standard ?? " wire colors look next link
but best is check the wiring by measuring wires as above
