What will be the connections (cables) for these motors and the motor drive shield?
Thank you so much for your help

For the motor shield, each "M" is for one coil. So M1 is for one coil of the stepper (for instance, black and green) and M2 is for another coil (red and blue).

Any stepper circuit won't be damaged by mis-wiring, so just give it a go. Either it won't work or it'll work weirdly (backwards), or it'll be fine.

Little bit of discussion about this at https://github.com/euphy/polargraph/wiki/It's-going-the-wrong-way!

Good luck!
