wiring Stepper to board

Hi, the stepper motors that I own have no connector, so cables are loose and I am afraid to connect them wrongly, any help is more than welcome.

Parts:

1-Nema 17 3D printer stepper motor CNC stepper motor 78 Oz-in/48mm stepping motor/1.8A.

2- MKS Gen V1.4 Control board RepRap Mega 2560 R3 Motherboard Ramps 1.4 with USB.

3- cables color are in the picture below:)

 

 

look on google images, it shows black green, red blue.

You may have to move a pin here and there after installing the ends. Color order isn’t a standard.

I am afraid to burn the steppers or the board

 

 

Wiring a stepper wrong won’t hurt the board or stepper, it just won’t move. Start with that wiring order, just keep in mind you might need to change a couple.

that was an important information, thank you very much Barry.

 

You can use the multimeter to check the motor wires coils A+ A-,B+B- by setting continuity test on multimeter
You can search on you tube will be able to find many videos on that

You can touch 2 together and turn the axis if it is harder to turn it’s a pair isn’t that what you need I may have just got lucky also I dont think you can hurt one unless you disassemble it just disconnect power before hooking or disconnecting wires. I hope he figured this out by now though
