A preview: Have 6 unipolar PM 4-phase stepper motor, how can I drive them?! I will use a micro (as a PIC or so).
I have thought use 4 chips 1:8 DeMux to send them the 4bits signal (see Image 1) or use 3 1:8 DeMux to send a 3Bits signal to the driver (Enable, clock signal and direction) This option may not be able becouse use 6 stepper motor is a bit expensive, but may be using the driver before the bank of demux.
I´m on the right way or not?

An other question is if you recommend use a stepper motor driver, just send the 4bits signal to the motor or a circuit with XOR and flip-flops? See my ideas below.

Thank you very much
