    Zen Toolworks 12x12 wiring help!

    Hello,

    I purchased the 12x12 kit from zen toolworks and successfully got the main unit built, but I got stuck at the wiring portion.

    First and foremost I was (and still am trying) to talk to the zen toolworks site admin and he was gracious enough to help me but they are experiencing server issues and the site does not seem to be up at the moment (totally understandable things happen right)

    I am currently using the NEMA23 Stepper motor which has four wires coming out of the pin (pink, white and pink, green, white and green) like so:

    and i need to wire the motors (Z-Axis, Y-Axis, and X-Axis) to the box which has the four wire slots (B-, B+ , A-, A+) like so:

    So how can i figure out which of the four wires goes in which slot?

    Any help would be reaaaally appreciated.

    Check with an ohmmeter/multimeter etc that pink connects to white/pink and that green connects to white/green (which I think it might).

    If that is so, then connect;
    pink A+
    white/pink A-
    green B+
    white/green B-
