    How to find center taps on 8 wire stepper

    Hi,
    I have an unbranded 8 wire Nema34 motor that I need to work out how to wire in bipolar parallel.
    I have done a contunuity test and have the following pairings.
    Orange White
    Yellow Red
    Blue Black
    Green Brown
    How do I work out the cente taps and A+, A-, B+, B- from here. I have a multimeter but I am very much an amateur.
    Much appreciated if you can help me out.
    cheers,
    Rod

    first find out which four wires make up each coil,the four that have continuity to each other,now test ohms,test two out of the four at a time for each coil,there should be two with lower ohms reading,those would be center taps
