Aug 14, 2016 at 15:53 comment added Chris Stratton I am voting to close this question as unanswerably unclear, as it omits important details of the driver board connection. Further, the poster has accepted an answer which is actually wrong - at present the state of the question invites new responses to correct these errors, but those responses will not be welcomed as the poster has apparently somehow satisfied themselves. Having this question here does no one any good, "it's a trap!"
Aug 14, 2016 at 15:18 comment added user2943160 @BlaiseMuller: Welcome to EE.SE. While these signals were omitted on the schematic, I expect that the question asker had them properly connected and was more concerned about the connections between the controller and the motor, not the connections between the arduino and the controller.
Aug 14, 2016 at 15:12 comment added user120707 Your code for microstepping is correct. But you haven't connected the command outputs (pins 5,6,7 of the Arduino) to the corresponding inputs on the shield: M0, M1 and M2 !!!
Feb 6, 2015 at 13:29 comment added user66114 Not sure how could you change microstepping with code when you did not connect the driver on M0M1M2 to processor? At least it is not in your diagram. Can you confirm? Marek

Updated code.
Sep 13, 2014 at 17:46 comment added dsignr Hi Andy, I bought it in Singapore from a local electronics store, these images and (vague) descriptions were what the dealer had sent me via E-mail. However, since you've suggested this, I'm going to measure the Ohms between the coils to see if they are correct. That should be a good start, don't you think? If what you suggested was an answer and if that was the case, I'd gladly accept it and close this question (if you were right) :)

Sep 13, 2014 at 17:40 comment added Andy aka Why don't you supply a link to the motor so I can check you have correctly interpreted the wiring?
Sep 13, 2014 at 17:37 comment added dsignr Wow, I never thought of that. I have updated the question with my current wiring scheme. Cheers!

Added wiring.
Sep 13, 2014 at 17:33 comment added Andy aka So what about the details so we can check ourselves. If I look at your picture I see 4 wires named but how do these connect to the DRV8825? I'm saying this because I see a potential problem with what you assume to be A- and B+ - I think you have them the wrong way round.
Sep 13, 2014 at 17:27 comment added dsignr Hi Andy, I have added a photograph and also edited my question. Thanks!

Sep 13, 2014 at 17:23 comment added Andy aka Details of the 6 wires of which you used 4?
Sep 13, 2014 at 17:10 comment added dsignr Sorry, that wasn't my intention. I'm using the unipolar stepper motor as a bipolar stepper motor. I connect the four wires to the four leads of the driver. The remaining two are left idle (as mentioned in the FAQ section of the docs I've linked above). Cheers!
Sep 13, 2014 at 16:55 comment added Andy aka Hmmm you are not making this easy. I asked how did you decide how to connect the wires - I didn't want a link to a data sheet that ONLY gives HALF the story. Prove to me that you have wired it correctly.
Sep 13, 2014 at 16:51 comment added dsignr As per the docs which says I can do so, here: pololu.com/product/2133
