PICStep Firmware V2.0 Released

Release Firmware V2.0 today.
I've made two versions, one with a motor current timer and the other without. Also the LMD18245 bug has been worked-around and now the motor should be silky smooth in both directions. The bug was a pesky thing to figure out, but now the curves for both directions are correct and the direction switch is fixed to deal with a silicon bug in the LMD18245.
The previous hi-torque firmware has been removed as the resultant curves didn't yield any improvement in the motor. The hi-torque curve seemed to produce a more notchy and resonant movement than the current curves do.
Anyway enjoy!
