Original description
If the stepper doesn't complete a full resolution or goes for long periods of
time between steps or steps over a long period of time, it gets really hot
due to a bug in the stepper code. It leaves coils enegized. I have added a
motorOff() function that shuts off all power so that it will not become too
hot. Future development could be to insert a timer since we know the speed
and step degree and shut it off that way.
