Information requirement
Hi all !
I did the same as microzone : unscrewed my old Apple StyleWriter 2400 printer and found 2 mitsumi M42SP-7 stepper motors.
Now I'd like to control them but I have one problem (I precise I am new to stepper motors controlling) :
On the link posted by zevon8 : **broken link removed**, it is written that the excitation method of this motor is unipolar driving.
However, only 4 wires come out from the motor PCB and I read everywhere on the web that 4-wired stepper motors were bipolar motors.
Moreover, among the 4 wires, 3 have the same color.
My question is : is my motor a unipolar or bipolar motor and how to distinguish the different phases since 3 wires have the same color ?
Thanks a lot for your help !!!
Maf.
