Stop¶

class Stop¶

Action after the motor stops.

COAST¶: Let the motor move freely.

BRAKE¶: Passively resist small external forces.

HOLD¶: Keep controlling the motor to hold it at the commanded angle. This is only available on motors with encoders.

The following table shows how each stop type adds an extra level of resistance to motion. In these examples, m is a Motor and and d is a DriveBase. The examples also show how running at zero speed compares to these stop types.

Type	Friction	Back EMF	Speed kept at 0	Angle kept at target	Examples
Coast					`m.stop()` `m.run_target(500, 90, Stop.COAST)`
Brake					`m.brake()` `m.run_target(500, 90, Stop.BRAKE)`
					`m.run(0)` `d.drive(0, 0)`
Hold					`m.hold()` `m.run_target(500, 90, Stop.HOLD)` `d.straight(0)` `d.straight(100)`
