Solved Stepper motor wiring help
-
I'm very new to Duet and CNC in general, so I want to start off by just making a motor turn using the Duet 3 6HC. According to the wiring diagram, the pins are, from top to bottom, A2, A1, B2, and B1.
The motors I'm using, however, say that black is A+, green is A-, red is B+, and blue is B-. I know this probably seems stupid, but I don't actually know how to convert these things yet, and I've seen some sources say different things so I feel very unsure about it. I'm sure this is obvious to a lot of you, but I'd appreciate help a lot.

Use this for finding out which motor wires are paired. The only important thing is that the wire pairs are side by side. Relying on the motor documentation is unfortunately problematic as you see because there is no real standard for color or labeling. Best to identify the pairs yourself.

@phaedrux I did follow that, but the result was a stepper motor that vibrated and didn't rotate at all, so I assume I must have the phases wired wrong.

I was right to think it was an obvious question, since I had it right. I just didn't have the current set high enough for the motor. Thank you Phaedrux for the help anyway.
