Have been working with my CNC tonight and was considering hooking
up a smaller stepper motor. However the stepper drivers I have is
designed for the bipolar connection (4 wires - 2 windings) but the motor is
the unipolar version with 6 leads (2 windings with center tap).
Now was it so that skipping the center tap and running the two windings in
series would give more torque than using just one of the windings ?
Also I guess I should then reduce the drive current ?
Long time since I did this type of investigation so I was just looking for a quick
response so I could hook it up
Have tried the "Zone" but no response....
