There are a lot of fun projects you can do with stepper motors salvaged ... If you guess wrong, the motor will spin backward, as these are bipolar motors. For a 6 wire device, the extra two ...

In the bipolar arrangement, the motor can be wired in parallel or in series. Series wiring allows for higher torque at low speed, while parallel can generate high torque at high speed. Stepper motor ...

If you’ve been a good little hacker and have been tearing apart old printers like you’re supposed to, you’ve probably run across more than a few stepper ... motor as a more efficient bipolar ...

Their higher speed capability also means they are less likely to stall. All stepper motors are configured as either unipolar or bipolar. Unipolar motors have unidirectional current and require only ...
