This is a common word during discussions involving peculiarities of step motors which can have 4 5 6 and 8 wires.
Stepper motor 4 wire connections.
4 5 6 and 8 wire stepper motors.

The trick is figuring out which wires make up the coil pairs.
A 6 wire stepper motor is similar to a 4 wire configuration with the added feature of a common tap placed between either end of each phase as shown in figure 2.
This wiring configuration is best suited for applications requiring high torque at relatively low speeds.

Connecting 4 wire stepper motors requires connecting a and a to one of the motor coils and b and b to the other motor coil.
Stepper motors with these center taps are often referred to as unipolar motors.
It comes with two separate channels called a and b that you can use to drive 2 dc motors or 1 stepper motor when combined.
Time to put the theory to the test.
These cables are color coded such that the a wire is red the a wire is black the b wire is yellow and the b wire is purple.
With this motor driver you can control dc motors stepper motors relays and solenoids.
Simillar to the case with the bipollar 4 wire stepper motor there is no connection infinite resistance between any of the wires from coil b and coil a.
The l298n motor driver board is built around the l298 dual full bridge driver made by stmicroelectronics.
