I have a stepper motor from Airpax, modle C82710 that has 6 wires connected to 2 windings with a center tap. It's rated at 12 volts, 36 ohms from center tap to the end of the winding, and 7.5 degrees per step.
I'm not too familiar with stepper motors, but understand the shaft can be moved in either direction one step at a time. I read some articles on Google but couldn't find any that showed the necessary signals and timing to rotate the motor continously in one direction.
I played around with it, and found I could move the motor shaft one step at a time by just alternating the connection to either side of one of the windings with the center tap common. But it only goes so far and stops, and the second winding was not being used.
So, the question is, what is a proper polarity and timing sequence on the various connections to continuously move the motor in the same direction?
