How does braketype::hold work? and thoughts about it

hold does active PID to try to maintain the position: the higher the error the more power it tries to apply to counter the error. “Hold” means exactly that, it will try to hold the motor there. It uses the built-in PID that has been tuned to work for as many different outputs as possible. If it does not work for you, you need to use a custom PID. brake is passive. It actually shorts the leads of the motor causing it to generate it’s own power making it slow down. However, if you try to turn it,…

@Eden (and others)
When you set the brake mode on the motor, the motor stores and remembers that mode.
However, to get it to brake, you must set the motor to 0 velocity, not voltage.
Setting voltage simply makes the motor coast - you are setting 0 voltage.
However, when you say 0 velocity, the motor (depending on brake mode) will try to actively achieve 0 velocity.
