1. A method of operating a surgical stapler, the method comprising:
tracking a position of a distal end of a blade assembly of a reloadable cartridge assembly of the surgical stapler as the distal end of the blade assembly is moved, via actuation of a motor and a corresponding drivetrain, along a stroke of the blade assembly; and
adjusting a current limit for current levels in the drivetrain based at least in part on the position of the distal end of the blade assembly along the stroke.
