I am trying to identify (and then drive via an Arduino or Pi) a motor in my (Meade) telescope mount. The manufacturer "support" people refuse to send me any technical information. I was originally thinking that this is probably a stepper motor, but I am not sure now.
I have linked 2 images. The first shows the motor with wires connected , the other is without the connector attached.
The images show the 6 wires coming off the motor. 2 at the side (blue and orange) and 4 in the middle.
There is 0 resistance between the Orange and Blue wires. From the pins on image2 ( Pin 1 is on the left, 4 is on the right), the resistance between the other pins is as follows :-
1 to 4 1500 Ω
1 to 3 6000 Ω
1 to 2 50K Ω
2 to 3 2500 Ω
3 to 4 1500 Ω
There is no connection Blue or the Orange and any of the 4 pins (which is why I now think that this is not a Stepper motor).
Any suggestions as to what to try in order to get this motor to turn ..... ?
Many thanks for your time !
