I have an old (broken) slot machine. The boards are bad, but some components still work. I'm interested in putting the three stepper motors (which once drove the spinning wheels inside) to use with a PIC of some kind. I'd have no problem doing this if I knew the corresponding function for each colored wire, but I have no idea how to figure it out. My question is, is there a way to probe around using a multimeter to find the functionality of the different wires? Another idea I had was to take the motor apart and see where certain wires are connected. I'm worried that I might mess the motor up in the process (somehow misalign something - I really don't know). So, how can I do it?
