Setting Brake Modes

VEX V5 General Discussion General Forum

So I was having some trouble setting a brake mode for my arm motor. I was wondering How I would set brake modes for individual motors this is the code I have right now:

ArmMotor.stop(vex::brakeType::brake);

The problem with this code is it is continuously trying to stop my arm motor causing it to jitter. So I want to know how to set a brake mode for my arm motor.

You can use:
ArmMotor.setStopping(vex::brakeType::brake);

Using brakeType brake shouldn’t make the motor continuously try to stop

Maybe it is better to use brake type hold and add some rubber bands to counter gravity force on the arm to make motor’s work easier.
