yes, it's a 6 wire motor. I discarded the middle wire when hooking up the coils. I'm not really familiar with unipolar or bipolar... I just know I had 6 wires to begin with.So you think 12 volts is actually too little? Even though the motor says 5.4 volts? The power supply I'm using has a 24 volt rail. You think I should try hooking it up? I don't know much about these things, I don't know what choppers are for instance... Just trying to get it working.
I stand by my comments. With 24V and a chopper driver like a DRV8825 it will be happy (although
the DRV8825 will be pushed to its limit at that current).
