+#scale:
+# This parameter can be used to alter how the 'wiper' parameter is
+# interpreted. If provided, then the 'wiper' parameter should be
+# between 0.0 and 'scale'. This may be useful when the MCP4018 is
+# used to set stepper voltage references. The 'scale' can be set to
+# the equivalent stepper amperage if the MCP4018 is at its highest
+# resistance, and then the 'wiper' parameter can be specified using
+# the desired amperage value for the stepper. The default is to not
+# scale the 'wiper' parameter.

# step or dir pins or any other pin that requires fast bit-banging. They
