Stepper Motor Drive

Please see the file "StepperMotorWiring.bmp" for info on connecting 4 & 6 -- wire motors to your device. This source should drive either type, though connection -- to 4-wire motors requires significantly more FET's to buffer outputs. The -- circuitry for 6-wire motors is more straightforward. The colors specified are -- standard to many brands of stepper motors. If you get 1-2-3-4 on the FET's connected -- to 4-3-2-1 on your logic device (backwards), the motor will simply rotate backwards. -- if out of order, the motor won't rotate at all. Motors come in many dirrerent ratings -- of degrees rotation per step; some offer exceptional resolution very inexpensively. -- -- It is important to note that most logic operates at multiple megahertz. Given -- a steper motor at 100 steps per revolution, and a clock of 10MHz, running the -- mo
