Info from Duet -

"Preferably, the driver supply voltage should be at least the sum of these two back emfs, plus a few more volts. If you have two motors in series then the required voltage is doubled." and more at

  • It has notes about wiring steppers in series.
  • "Avoid motors with rated voltage (or product of rated current and phase resistance) > 4V or inductance > 4mH."
  • Shows how to identify stepper motor phases by shorting phases via wire
