Reverse engineering a servo motor

-

i've got servo motor took off old printer , i've hit wall on figuring out 3 brown wires in picture do. i've got kind of optical rotation sensor on back, wire emitter, sensor(s)?

i've tried measuring resistance of each of 3 wires black or white, each of other brown wires.... nothing.

i tried manually spinning motor , having each of brown wires hooked analog inputs... still nothing.

i'm hoping community can recommend how can figure out 3 brown wires do.

i'll mention i'm pretty new things arduino , electrical stuff isn't forte, that's why i'm trying in first place.  :)

that brushed d.c. motor optical shaft encoder.

the encoder has 1 or more leds , phototransistors, take fair bit of knowledge semiconductor electronics figure out connections , how use them.

unfortunately such circuits can rather destroyed applying power, if polarity wrong. if want use motor/encoder, better off buying 1 documentation.

hey everyone, i'm trying compile simple code on rpi3 using geany. code written using code::blocks on windows , working without problem. errors i'm getting are: untitled.c:33:5: error: ‘for’ loop initial declarations allowed in c99 or c11 mode , untitled.c:33:5: note: use option -std=c99, -std=gnu99, -std=c11 or -std=gnu11 compile code understand code not problem way i'm compiling it. can give me advice? you need add 1 of suggested options compile command configured in geany, in menu.. build -> set build commands add "-std=c99" after "gcc" in compile , build boxes. (i'm looking on mint pc expect version on pi same). petero raspberrypi
