All of the wires look ok.  I was thinking about opening it up to see if the connections are good inside the housing.  Is that something I can do without destroying the motor?  I see it has 4 screws on the back.  If we’re already assuming it’s dead, then probably taking it apart won’t hurt.

I bought the Eggbot through Sparkfun, so I assume it’s brand-name.  I’ll contact you guys once I’m done messing around with it.

Ragnar, I’m in NH, which is usually far away from everybody on the internet.  If you happen to be close by, let me know.  Otherwise I’ll just go through the official channels for a replacement.

Thanks again,

Todd

Power supply is producing 9.25v.  The egg motor is strong.  Wiring is in the correct order.  I reversed the wiring and the problem stayed with the pen motor.  Maybe it’s a bad motor?  Can you point me to where I can buy a replacement?  This is my first time working with stepper motors, so I don’t have any laying around.

Thanks,

Todd
