Victor brake feature
How well does the victor brake feature work?

I connected a motor which is raising a lift to a victor and set the brake jumper but I am not sure if it is doing much of anything as the lift still does slowly drift down due to the weight of the lift...

Is this brake feature limited in how much slippage it will allow when a 127 value is sent to the victor or am I doing something wrong?

Is there a way to incorporate a mechanical brake?

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks
