	You can wire an 8-wire stepper in series or parallel. Series wiring will result in higher torque when the motor is stopped or at low speeds. Parallel wiring will provide better torque at higher speeds, but less torque overall. Since the current in parallel mode is split between two paths, the current rating is doubled.

	This current limit is per coil, and you set this through the software API when you write your application. The maximum current for your stepper is part of the motor specification - you can use the stepper with less current, to reduce power consumption, but you will get reduced torque. We'll assume the limit for this example is 2 Amps. Multiply 4.5 Ohms * 2 Amps = 9 Volts. The minimum voltage you can operate this motor at will be 9 Volts + 0.5 Volts for the controller. If the voltage you provide is less than what is required for the motor (but still more than 9 volts), the motor will still run, but not at full spec, and may not step as smoothly as it could.
