Motor connections

The drive will work with 4-wire, 6-wire or 8-wire stepper motors.

4-wire motors

are truly bipolar, and can be run as such.

6-wire motors

can be wired two ways to work with the bipolar drive.

8-wire motors

can be run in parallel or serial mode. Parallel mode needs higher current, has lower

inductance and better torque, serial mode needs lower current and has lower torque.
