Wiring up stepper motor to controller help

[Arashb]

Hello, I just received a replacement stepper motor from my friend
Kysan 57BYGH311-01
Kysan Electronics Data Book


but Im not sure how to wire it to my Gecko controller, the motor has 4 wires, red, green, yellow and blue.
Would this be right?

Thanks

Edit, running the multimeter resistance test between the wires, red & green pair up.

I went ahead and hooked up the connections like I thought and it worked

Sorry I didn't see this before, and glad you got it working... if you ever have to do that again, this page has a lot of good information on how to figure out your wiring:

Hey Arashb,

Can I ask where you got this replacement for that particular motor?

I happened to have snapped a shaft clean off...


Now hunting for a new one...

Thanks,
Bill
