I've got a functional unipolar stepper driver that drives a 5 wire stepper. It's a cd4070 and a cd4027 with 4 TIP31 for the transistors.
Its a neat circuit: https://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/stepper.asp?showcomments=all
Anyway - I have a lin engineering 5718M-05E-05 It's an 8 wire stepper.
Using my ohmeter I've figured that there are 4 sets of wires. For the life of me I cannot get the circuit to drive this stepper at all. I can get it to do the vibrate, go forward a step then backward a step in a loop etc basically indication that I've not groked the wiring.
Anyway - these steppers are showing up on Ebay and I thought I would pass it along that I'm having difficulties. I've worked about 8 hours on this now with no success
