Hey Guys, I just purchased 2 NEMA 17 unipolar stepper motors.
I am making an X Y table of sorts.
Specs from ad are:
2-Phase Uni-Polar Stepper Motors. Made by Minebea-Matsushita. Will work with supply voltage 12-36VDC.

Frame Size Nema 17 / 1.8 Degree Step

Comes with 6-Lead Wire. A- | A Common | A+ | B+ | B Common | B-

How to find wires here: Stepper wiring - RepRap

Dimensions 42mm x42mm x 41mm (including damper)

2 X Ball Bearings

Shaft Diameter 5mm

Pulley Outside Diameter: 10mm

Number of tooth: 16

Pitch: 2mm

New Open Timing Belt: 2mm pitch x 6mm wide

I need to find a driver to operate both axies from an arduino uno Not sure what to use and what would be the cheapest. Any recommendations?

You don't say how much current they need.
Uno would be fine for driving the hardware what will actually control the current.

6-wire motors can be configured as unipolar or bipolar - you need the current specs
for either (bipolar current usually 0.7 times the unipolar current rating).

I suppose I can email the person who listed the items for the current specs. I am not sure what they require.
I am somewhat new to this so I appreciate you bearing with me.

Is it like this?
