    nema stepper wiring help

    I'm sure this pretty basic stuff but I am very new to the CNC world.

    I have a G0704 I'm converting.

    I have 2 nema 23 570ozin 3.5A and 1 nema 34 906ozin 6.1A

    All motors have 8 wires.

    B,R,BR,OR,GR,BL,WH,YEL.

    My question is which wires do I use?

    I have searched and everything I find is confusing some say tie the 8 wires together in a specific order and some say just use 4 wires.

    4 lead Bipolar connection
    8 lead Bipolar series connection
    8 lead Bipolar parallel connection
    8 lead unipolar connection

    Not sure which one to go with.

    Thank you
    Joseph.

    Bipolar parallel is what I would do.

    A+: Red/Blu

    A-: Yell/Blk

    B+: WHT/BRN

    B-: OR/GRN

    As "basic" as it is. We have all been there, asked that. And still be confused sometimes. Good advice above.

    Just as I say that I see you are using a 906/6.1 amp. What are you using for the driver?
    A lazy man does it twice.
