i have a few stepper motors and some have 4 wires others have 6 so i googled it wikipedia said 6 wired ones are bipolar and 4 are unipolar.
but bipolar is simpler to use because windings don't need to be reversed.
i want to know if this is acurate because to me 4 wire seems more common and looks like it would be eiser to use.
i have seen stepper controlers in catologs but there all made for industrial motors and are like 60-80$. is there any schmatics or anything farly simle like transistor a transistor circuit i can use to driven it. i have thought about using a brushlees fan motor controler to run a stepper but i am not sure if this wouldn work. i have got steppers to run but it was a dc motor connected to a shaft of a big stepper conected by wire to a smaller stepper. how do you know what lead is what on a steper and witch order they need to run in
