Ok, I've got EMC2 running on a dedacated computer and at this point I just want to make a stepper spin. This is to learn to set up EMC.
I have an old 5 1/4 floppy drive that has what looks like a stepper motor on it to move the head. It has six wires coming out of the body of the motor. So I'm assuming that this is a 6 wire bipolar stepper... The tag on the motor says: STH-39D103-10 1.8°/Step 75 ohm J3-5296 Sinano Kenshi Japan >From some googling it appears to be a 12v 0.16a stepper... So I should be able >to use a 12v wall wort as a power supply... I don't want to destroy the drive it will not work. Otherwise I'll sacrifice the drive for my education on EMC. I have the usual PC power supplies as well as wall worts and a lab power supply on hand. I have assembled DRO's so I can solder well. Using the paraport connection what is the least expensive way to get this motor to spin? Is there any other hardware from the floppy drive that I can use to make it spin. There has to be a full driver on the pcb of the floppy but can it be used?
