by the way I have a stepper motor here, got it brand spanking new at a electronix store far away....
it has 6 wires coming out, which makes it a uni-polar motor, I think.
Has 200steps/revolution (1.8ยบ/step)
and is rated at 6v dc.
I have no idea what it's hold torque is, though I have to say, if I put 5v on it, there is no way i'm twisting that shaft... not with bare hands anyway....
do you think it be a good idea to go pick up a couple of them more, they are only $25.00 CDN where I get them....
