      AstroEQ Version 7.0 Release · ea96ab19
      Thomas Carpenter authored
      For improved tracking, AstroEQ now uses either 1/4 stepping or 1/32th
      microstepping.
      Please download the new config utility to get the new firmware.
      This change only applies to DRV8825 chips. If you have an A4988 chip,
      you can use the new firmware but it will be no different from 6.8.
      If you have legacy hardware, please see the upgrade information.

      Updated Configuration Utility · 5a72ebca
      Thomas Carpenter authored
      Reduces the likely hood of the utility failing to read or write to the
      EEPROM (stalls at :G110). If this does still occur, simply try again,
      you shouldn't have to unplug or power off the controller!
