    Quick question ... does the current settings mean that the BB will only delivery a maximum of the current set or will the BB push that much current through the stepper regardless of load.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    That one :)

    Current is always drawn :) the load (ohms law) dictates how much it tries to pull, the driver actively limits it to prevent burning out the motor
