Checkout page 11 of the attached manual to see if this is what you want. Look at coast/break jumper and the automatic ramp mode.
Of course there's a jumper solution. Why didn't I think of it?

Also, the guide on commands was really bad. I'll take it into account that it loops repeatedly. Thanks to you both!
