5 vdc stepper motor(?)

[BrknArrw]

Hello,

I am a mentor for a first year team.

I have a number of questions about a 5 vdc stepper motor(?) we were donated. It has a threaded rod and a plastic platform that will move up and down to control our arm height.

First question would be, is a 5vdc motor legal?

If so, what would be the best/legal way to provide a 5vdc source?

There are four wires coming from the motor.

A note the company that donated the motor supplied described wiring hookup as follows: Red = A+, Red/White = A-, Green/White = B+ & Green = B-.

What would we use to control this type of motor?

Don't think we could use the jaguars or victors to control this motor, because the documentation for each describes them to control 12v-24v motors. In addition to that, I'm not certain how one would even wire this type of motor to a jaguar/victor.

Would a digital side car be used to control this type of motor?

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Scott
