@linuxpredator thanks. Datasheet is of course the obvious way of identifying the leads. But in instances where the make and model is unclear, this method is particularly useful.
Now that I have done that, I want to run the motor manually without the center taps wired together (as per how it will eventually be wired to Easydriver). Do you know how I can run the motor manually that way?
If you have an adafruit motor shield, you have to connect the wires in this sequence: 1,3,2,4 otherwise the motor wont turn (took me a while to figure it out)
Please help: i have a 6 wires nema23. unipolar or bipolar no idea but nevermind. my problem is once you've found the end wires of one coil (let's say coil A) how to determine then which of the two wires is A and which one is A-? so to know which wire to put in the A and A- slots of the TB6550?
in case you has 6 wires that's mean the motor is 3 polar , so you can neglect 2 of them , then try to find the polarity of the remains 4 wires as the above video shown
Your guide is wrong with how it describes the connections. It acts like the centre tap is connected to 2 adjacent coils, when it fact it is connected to 2 opposite coils. This is indicated by the red and blue wires sharing a common centre tap and the motor not turning when red is energised and you touch blue.

This helped me a lot!!!

thanks alot this helped me too much
using a 6 wire stepper with a four wire controller is there a need for the tap wires?
Totally unrelated but whose music is in the background?
I love it.

thanks a lot for the answer. meanwhile i did figure it out by myself but that was the correct answer.
+SMCG you are wlc man
Amazingly inspiring sound track LOL no ... really .. good vid, thanks.
Thanks you!

thanks the above video.. can anyone help how to identifying in bi polor stpper motor .. ie four wires
Anbu Jaco simple way try hit and trial methods
many thanks :)
i am confused
it would ve been great if you added a sketch diagram of motor coils...
thank you, :-)
