Figuring Out 6-Wire Stepper Motor Wiring (Without a Diagram!)

In this video, I'm working with a 6-wire stepper motor but I lost the wiring diagram = So I had to get creative and try two different ways to figure it out: Method 1: I manually connect wire pairs and turn the motor shaft to see which wires belong together. Method 2: I use a digital multimeter to check resistance between the wires, which helps me figure out the coil pairs and center taps. Both methods are pretty simple and dont need any fancy tools just a multimeter and some trial and error. If you're dealing with an unknown stepper motor, this might help you out!
