Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 5 Wire steppers

Hi, if all the wires have the same resistance chances are it is 5 phase
motor.
there isnt much can be done except to change out the motor unless you want
to buy an expensive drive for 5 phase motor....and there is darned few
drives that take step and direction signals...change the motor and use a
common step direction drive. later brian f.
