    Connect an 8 wire stepper motor to a TB6560 Stepper motor driver

    I’m trying to use an 8 wire stepper motor (which I cannot find the data sheet for) and connect it to a TB6560 Stepper motor driver.

    Shinano Kenshi
    STH-53D400
    133919-001 Rev A
    1.8 Degree/Step 2.4V @ 3.2A

    The pair of wires are as follows:
    Brown / Blue
    Green / Red
    Orange / Black
    White / Yellow

    On a breadboard for a unipolar setup, I can connect the Blue, Red, Black, and Yellow wires together and apply positive voltage to them. I then apply a negative connection to the Brown, Red, Black, and then Yellow wire, the motor moves counterclockwise.
    On the TB6560 Stepper motor driver, there are slots for B-, B+, A-, A+ for the motor and positive and negative for the power supply.

    My question is, how to I take this information from the breadboard and apply it to the motor driver?
    I'm planning on doing testing between unipolar and bipolar configurations, but right now am trying to just get something working.

    From this page, Slowing 69.16.243.61&c=1&t=42734.878369213, I determined the following:
    Blue: A+`
    Red: B+`
    Black: A-
    Yellow: B-
    Brown: A+
    Green: B+
    Orange: A-`
    White: B-`

    Step 1: Throw away the TB6560 and buy a real driver.

    Glad you got it figured out.
