Yes, this is not the best thing to do. I will update cvs this evening, hopefully.

What it should be doing is to simply leave the outputs in the last state unless provide_static_holding is '0', in which case it should turn all the outputs off.

outputting "1111" will not cause the motor to move, because it will cause the two sets of windings to "arm wrestle" each other, but it's not the best idea because it wastes power aka. heat.

Best,
Steve
