Modkit Motor Hold- Driver Control

VEX IQ General Discussion IQ Technical Discussion

Hi-

We’re experimenting with ModKit and slowly getting there. One question is on our driver control program. We are using the “E” buttons to raise or lower a lift. When we raise it, and let go of the button the lift immediately falls back down. So the motor isn’t locking where we stop pressing the button. It seems the only motors to lock are are the wheels. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

In modkit if you are programming in the motor of which you are trying to move, up in the top left corner there is the ‘setup’ tab. Within this tab there is a block that reads “set holding to {on/off}”.
If you put this block either in a new event where it is just ‘when start’ that will work or you can add it to the event you are currently trying to get to hold the position.
