"LOL.. If by 'resistance' you mean cogging, that has nothing to do with
being
demagnetized. Short all the wires on one of your motors together, and see
if it
isn't pretty damn hard to turn."
Yeah, I guess I meant cogging. None of the 6 steppers I have showed any
effect whatsoever from shorting all the wires, both unipolar and bipolar
(1).
"Probably better to find some good solid 5V unipolar motors and get using
them
until you've learned a bit more about steppers in general. Some of it
simply
comes from getting and using all types, start simple."
I have some 3967 Microstepping Driver with Translator coming as well as
UCN5804s. The 9V Stepper400 from Melnick is interesting.
