One fun thing I enjoy doing with stepper motors is wiring them up together. Then when I turn one by hand, the other turns by itself. I've only done this with identical stepper motors so far. I wire them up color to color.

I'm curious if somehow you could determine the phase of the motor coils with your LED method? I know testing a stepper motor with a battery you can figure out the coil phases by how the shaft moves.
