Arm Problem

Programming Support
#1

VEX EDR V5
void armcontrol ()
{
if ( Controller1.ButtonR1.pressing() )
{
Arm.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, -60, vex::velocityUnits::pct);

}
else if ( Controller1.ButtonR2.pressing() )
{
Arm.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, 60, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
}
else
{
Arm.stop();
}
}

Anyone have ideas about why this program make the arm of the robot slowly goes down after the arm goes up

#2

What is the weight of the Arm, it may just be too heavy for the motor to hold up?

#3

But when I use the normal default remote the arm works and wont slowly fall down tho

#4

Possibly try to put the motor on hold mode when you are doing arm.stop. Arm.stop(hold);
