Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stepper motor pinout?

Howdy! This interesting. My 6 wires are: blue, black, red, white,
yellow, brown. The common, 2.1ohms to all others is the yellow.

As for the .4 amps, the label actually says "0 4A/PHASE". I assumed the
space between the 0 & 4 was a decimal point that had disappeared. But
given the size of the motor, 4.0 amps makes more sense.

Where does one find a 5 phase driver? Or information on same? I've an
email to Vexta Tech Support asking about this motor, I'll let everybody
know what comes of it.

Thanks for your help.
