Day Twenty: Dissecting Stepper Motors

My friend gave me some stepper motors today, so my project tonight was to take one apart and find out how it worked. I chose the one that had 5 wires, and traced out a wiring schematic. It turns out to be a 5-phase stepper motor! I am eager to test it out, but first I need to order some H-bridge parts so that I can control it.
