You mention changing the current to the steppers, but here and at the eibotboard documentation, there is nothing on HOW to change the current. There is a pot on the board, but which way is which, how do we measure the voltage or current easily, and what are the safe limits for the provided motors?
We have listed some explicit instructions for adjusting the current. The full range of possible values are safe for the motors and EBB, but may get uncomfortably hot at the high end of the range.
