I have a penta-drive 5-phase motor with 5 wires that I'm looking to drive with a microcontroller and driver board. I have a driver with 6 H-bridges that I was hoping to use. If this was a 10-wire stepper where each coil is separate, its easy to connect and drive with 5 individual H-bridges.
How can I wire and drive this for the 5-wire setup properly?

You connect each phase to a separate h-bridge output. Since there is no common wire, you will have to energize at least two coils. This page shows the specific details: http://www.orientalmotor.com/technology/articles/2phase-v-5phase.html
