The way the 8i20 works is that it is sent a signed 16-bit number, and
32768 = the max current that the drive is set to.

This 16-bit number is calculated using scalemax. So if you want to set
scalemax to 1, that is entirely reasonable. Then a PID output of 1
would give you nvmaxcurrent amps.

The maxlim and minlim values are provided to limit the value. Bear in
mind that the 8i20 uses the same driver as every other smart-serial
device, and they all have exactly the same pins.
