+[title] Identifying stepper motor coil wires (without 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.]
+[* 1] Follow this step if you don't have access to a multimeter. Otherwise, Skip to Step 2.
+[* 2] If the two wires you joined together belong to the same coil, the shaft will become significantly harder to turn by hand.
+[* 3] If that shaft still spins easily, you have not identified a coil yet, and you must try a different combination of wires.
+[* 10] If you join together two wires that do result in the motor presenting resistance against turning, you can label these two wires as belonging to the same coil.
