      I have read this new feature on 3.6 version. Also read something about prusa doing this.
      But I dont clearly see the difference beween phase steppiung and the coolstep feature of the trinamic drivers.
      Can someone clarify please?

        @Tinchus coolstep reduces the current to the motors under some conditions. Phase stepping controls the motors by directly commanding the phase currents instead of sending step pulses to the driver, which allows us to compensate for nonlinearities in the stepper motors; but it also allows us to reduce motor current when the speed and acceleration are low.
