Re: 5 vdc stepper motor(?)

Scott,
As Jimmy has pointed out, that motor is not legal. The wiring you describe requires a dedicated two phase stepper motor controller. A is one phase and B is the other. Dependent on how you feed these determines which direction the motor turns, in a particular phase and at particular speed.
