How to find the wire combinations in a nema 17 stepper motor with six wires?

vami

I am making an open source 3d printer as my minor project for college but i am stuck as my motors are not functioning properly, either they are just vibrating at their place or not working at all. I am using Nema 17 motors with A4998 stepper driver and Aurdino Mega 2560. I googled how to know the correct Tx and Rx terminals, as I thought it was problem, but now my motor is not functioning at all when i run it individually with the Arduino, power supply and stepper driver. Can you please tell me how I should get my motors to run?

Also the motors are local and so are most of the components.

    After posting this I realized it may be of little use. I have some details on the NEMA 17 but I never used it. I have one (I think it is) in a box but haven't found a project for it.

    I am a bit confused. My wiring diagram for a NEMA 17 doesn't match the one Doug has provided. It looks more like of a 28BYJ-40.

    I did some pretty heavy lifting to understand stepper motor operations a while back. I'm a very visual person. I got down a dirty making drawings to match signal pattern to physical operation of the motor.

    Having the knowledge of the signal pattern gave me the understanding of how the motor operated. Generating a pattern not reflective of the motor, can burn them up. I've done it.

    I used AccelStepper library to drive the 28BYJ-48 using a Nano.  I used from gpiozero import Motor for the same motor on a Raspberry Pi.

    NOTE: Just discovered the drawings have no background colour therefore when expanded on my computer they are all black background. I'm working on another project so I don't have the time to edit. Save the file and it displays acceptable.
