I recently got a small stepper motor which has 4 wires (thus I believe it is a Bipolar). I want to drive it with a PICAXE-08 through a L293D. The diagram showing the pinout of the L293D on page 17 of Section 3 does not seem correct... it shows two motors (I think it is the same drawing that was used for for driving two DC motors on page 12). Does anyone have a schematic on how to hook up a bipolar stepper? I don't know much about the motor that I have except the following: 1. It is very, very, very tiny... the entire thing 8mm in diameter and 8mm high; and 2. It has 4 wires (1 and 3 have continuity and 2 and 4 have continuity). Thanks in advance for anyone's help!
