| + | [title] Identifying stepper motor coil wires (with a multimeter) |
|---|---|
| + | [* 11] This procedure can be found on the OpenBuilds Documentation, for further information click [link|https://docs.openbuilds.com/doku.php?id=docs:blackbox-x32:faq-identify-motor-coils|here.] |
| + | [* 10] Follow this step if you have access to a multimeter, otherwise skip to [link|https://ratrig.dozuki.com/Guide/08.+Wiring+Guide+-+Advanced+kit+-+BETA/223#s1992|Step 8.] |
| + | [* 2] Set your multimeter to Continuity / Diode Test mode. |
| + | [* 3] Start with any random wire, and touch that to the Black/Negative probe on your multimeter. |
| + | [* 4] Select any remaining wire and touch it with the Red/Positive probe of your multimeter: |
| + | [* 5] If the multimeter shows [1 or 0L] it means “no connection” - indicating we did not find a coil between these two wires. Some multimeters also “beep” when it does find a connection, so if there is no beep noise, it also could indicate the coil is not between these two wires. |
| + | [* 6] If you see a reading on the multimeter. The actual number does not matter too much, it's more important that it has some low value reading, and that the multimeter no longer displays [1] on the display. Some multimeters may “beep” when you have continuity between the wires (circuit completed by the coil in between). |
| + | [* 7] Segment off these two wires and label them as belonging to a coil. It's important to not lose track of the coil pairs. |
