How to set up the isc stepper motor

[Sam Guo]

I recently bought a new stepper motor fit in a evo 1, how do i set it up on the evolink g3, its a 6 pins stepper motor, do I need to setup AUX5,6,7,8 to control the stepper nose in and out?

Hi Sam.

Yes that is correct.  5 & 6 to one pair, and 7 & 8 to the other, and the 2 centre pins should be provided with +12v.  If you find the stepper trying to pull one way, and then the same way again when it souldn't be, just transpose one of the pairs only (5 for 6 or 7 for 8). 

If you do experience this problem, swapping 5 & 6 for 7 & 8 in this situation will give you the same result (stepper trying to pull one way, and then the same way again).  Just swap one of the pairs polarity for want of a better term.
