Hello,
Is there any tester for stepper motors from VW clusters (etc. Golf IV)?
I found tester made on arduino platform, but I need simple tester which is working exactly like these from link but not built on arduino:
Arduino Driving a Micro Stepper Motor | Arduining (http://arduining.com/2012/04/22/arduino-driving-a-micro-stepper-motor/)
The most important is the method of moving motor by potentiometer (like in movie).
Maybe you have got your own method how to check these type of motors?
Thanks forr all answers.

What are you going to check? Coils, gearboxes? For coils it's sufficient to have some good Ohmmeter. If you search for "stepper motor ic" you will get a number of circuits to test with. This Arduino is not a bad choice, and there are others on this platform as well. If you still have an LPT port on your PC you may use this one to drive a stepper motor.

On most 1999 and up VAG group you can do the with VCDS by going to output test. It will test all motors.
