You will now want to wire the steppers and pump to the terminals on the motor driver board.
|
||||
|
||||
If your wires are too short, you can invert the pump and the focus wiring. However, you will have to remember to change the configuration later on.

!!! info

The PlanktoScope **uses only bipolar stepper motors** (with 4 wires coming out, and two coils inside), so you need to identify the two wires working together for each coil. The [RepRap Wiki has great information](https://reprap.org/wiki/Stepper_wiring#.22pair.22_wires_on_4_wire_motors) on how to do this, either with a multimeter or without.

You can find more information about stepper motors and how they work in this [document](http://resources.linengineering.com/acton/attachment/3791/f-00ca/1/-/-/-/-/Stepper%20Motor%20Basics.pdf).

Make sure the wires are properly connected by pulling on them a little. They should not come loose.
