Grant Baker Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Hi,Has anybody successfully operated a 5 wire stepper motor before?It's fitted to a Rover T16 (Turbo) Engine.It has 5 pins (well 6, but only 5 used)Pin 1 (Channel 1)Pin 2 +12v Pin 3 (Channel 2)Pin 4 (Channel 4)Pin 5 (Empty)Pin 6 (Channel 3)I suspect that internally the 12v supply is split to both pairs of the stepper.Maximum movement of the stepper motor is 3.75 revolutions, and this is accomplished by 180 steps of 7.5°Can this be operated by Link?I assume if I can ascertain which pair is which I can wire it as a 6 pin stepper?

Simon Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I would be treating it as a 6T stepper. Will be a case of working out the winding pairs and then trying from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
