Don't have it here at work, but it's not as complicated as a person might think.
Just watch for the phototransistor input and switch to the next 'phase'.
I'm able to move the reflective strips to, in effect, change the timing of the 'phases' in relation to the coils.
The leds I have mounted to the base of the motor tell me everything is working as I've planned it to work.
It's got to be a problem with the air gap, or maybe I've got one of the coils wrapped backwards/sideways/upside-down, something simple.
It should work without a problem. I'll get 'er nailed down someday.
