Setting motor current M906

[jml]

I purchased a NEMA8 motor rated at 4.0V, 0.7A, and 5.7 ohm resistance per phase. Its bipolar.

What should I put in M906 if I were to use this motor (for the x motor in this example)?

M906 X700 or do I put X1400 because its bipolar?

Try M906 X500 and increase it to 600 if you need more torque. Motors run at their full rated current get rather hot.

Ok great, X500 will work. Thanks!
