	When looking at a stepper motor's specifications, you may come across a "Rated Voltage" value. This value is usually equal to the rated current multiplied by the resistance of the coils of the motor, making it somewhat of a redundant specification. As mentioned earlier, you can increase your controller's supply voltage in order to allow the motor to reach higher speeds at a lower current (because high current causes high inductance which puts a hard limit on how much speed and torque a motor can produce). The motor will also produce more heat as you increase the supply voltage, so it's a good idea to choose a supply voltage based on the performance you need for the motor. Some motors will have a "Recommended Voltage" for a particular controller, which is the amount of voltage needed to reach the optimal speed and torque of the motor with minimal heating.

	This is your current limit. If you do not need so much torque, you can reduce the current limit to save power and reduce heating. If you need more current than the 1063 is specified to provide, you'll need to add some form of heat dissipation to the driver chip (A3979), in the form of a heatsink, air circulation, or both. The only problem with artificially increasing this limit through cooling is that you have no way of knowing how much further you can push the controller without some sort of temperature monitoring.
