struggling to figure out color connections

Hey everyone, building a Mendel using Ramps 1.4, my steppers are Kysan 1124090 motors.

They have the following colors and letters from the spec sheet:

A=Red
B=Yellow
C=Green
D=Blue

My Ramps board is asking for 2B, 2A, 1A, 1B

I am really confused on how I should connect my wires to my Ramps board, I have been reading many different things for different steppers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Auzze,

Thanks much for your reply!

Just to confirm, do you mean Blue to 2B?

My motors do not have a black, only a Blue.

Thanks!

Wire them up. Test. If it doesn't move, swap pin 2 and pin 3. If the direction is wrong, reverse the connector or invert the axis in firmware.
