9.1.15 OCD_TH
The OCD_TH register contains the overcurrent threshold value (see
for details). The available range is from 375 mA to 6 A, steps of 375 mA, as shown in
9.1.16 STEP_MODE
The STEP_MODE register has the following structure:
The STEP_SEL parameter selects one of five possible stepping modes:
Every time the step mode is changed, the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping
sine wave that is generated) is reset to the first microstep.
Warning:
Every time STEP_SEL is changed the value in the ABS_POS
register looses meaning and should be reset.

When the STEP_MODE register is written, the bit #3 is to be set to 1, otherwise anomalous
behaviors could occur.
