for RF communications, I recommend Linx Technologies (URL) They sell seperate transmitters, receivers, and antennas. For two-way communication, you would need two pairs, so the price is around $30 for a bidirectional link. They have speed ranges (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

First thing take an ohm meter and "read" your coils. From any wire you should have one other wire at a low resistance and two at a high resistance. This will first determine if you have it wired right. On my steppers the outside two form one coil (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
