:wave: My first post.
Hi all just have a question about phases.
I have a Mechatronics 4 axis driver board
and some 6 wire steppers.
The driver board handles Uni or Bi polar 4 to 8 wire steppers
My understanding was that all I had to do is not use the middle
wire of each coil. Fair enough.
Then I found out that my steppers are 4 phase. HUH?
My Question is that if I use these steppers as 4 wire then
does this change the phase??.
I don't understand the phase thing at all ,hence the question.
I opened up one motor to see if that would help me
figure it out but ended up more confused after seeing
it had 8 sets of windings.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated
