Hi, I am an engineering student and I am trying to run a unipolar ShinanoKenshi six lead wire stepper motor with the code attached. I am unsure if this code will work and I am unsure how to wire the stepper motor to the USB-9472 that I am using. I would appreciate any helpful comments or solutions. Thank you.

Which stepper motor is it? Is it the SST42D?
What is the voltage ratings on the stepper motor?

I think the wiring sequence for the 1st phase is Vs11 - Gnd - Vs12
and the second phase is Vs21 - Gnd - Vs22.
The USB-9472 can provide 6 to 30 V to 0.75 A per channel.
You need to look at the outputs of the 9472 and the grounds. The wiring should be logical. Once you know which channel is to which phase, you can then try it out using MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) to see if you wired it right and that you can get it working.
