9.1.19 STEP_MODE
The STEP_MODE register has the following structure:
The STEP_SEL parameter selects one of eight possible stepping modes:
Every time the step mode is changed, the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping
sinewave that is generated) is reset to the first microstep.
Warning: Every time STEP_SEL is changed, the value in the ABS_POS
register loses meaning and should be reset.
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22).
