Mr Bean! What a nice tutorial for labeling the wires. Now, I suppose you picked 12Volts - as thats what the motor was rated at? Is there any "margin of safety" that we can use for "unknown motors"? Eg if it "might" be 5 volts would 12Volts be too much? Seems like when running steppers everyone runs over volts - but watches current closely. Would the same apply to this testing scheme? Cheers and Thanks - Jim
