How to connect wires for 324 stepper motor to arduino shield

Post by RaxDominion »

I just purchased this stepper motor: http://www.adafruit.com/products/324

I also have the arduino motor shield plugged into an arduino uno. How do I attach the wires to the motor shield?

A+ = <what color>
A- = <what color>
B+ = <what color>
B- = <what color>

Thanks for the quick reply.

If I incorrectly wired it up is it possible I hurt the motor?

Now that I have it wired up correctly is there an led light indicator I should see when I plug the motor shield into the wall on the motor? Or on the shield?

None of the code I have tried has moved the motor. I am pretty sure my code is wrong so before I try to figure out the code I want to make sure the motor still works if possible.

Thanks.

You are more likely to damage the shield than the motor.
I am pretty sure my code is wrong
It is best to start with the example code that comes with the shield library to verify that everything is working before writing your own code.

Thanks again. With it wired correctly everything is working.
