Method Detail

coast

void coast()

Motor loses all power, causing the rotor to float freely to a stop. This is not the same as stopping, which locks the rotor.

brake

void brake()

Removes power from the motor and creates a passive electrical load. This is usually done by shorting the motor terminals together. This load will absorb the energy from the rotation of the motors and cause the motor to stop more quickly than coasting.

hold

void hold()

Causes the motor to actively try to hold the current position. If an external force tries to turn the motor, the motor will “push back” to maintain its position.
