Dopo il lavoro descritto in questo articolo https://openprojects.altervista.org/stepper-motor-driver-4988/ fatto per capire i collegamenti dei motori stepper ho potuto collegare correttamente le fasi del motore stepper alla scheda driver 4899 come illustrato nello schema seguente:
In verità non ho ancora ben capito come individuare il pin A ed il pin B delle singole bobine ma procedo per tentativi. Se il verso di rotazione è sbagliato inverto i collegamenti.
Lo sketch usato per il test è il seguente, tratto dagli esempi della libreria StepperDriver:
