: Want to be able to turn those Victor's brakes on (say when you are on the bridge)? Fasten a magnet to one of the servo's link arms and rotate that magnet past a couple of reed switches that are wired to the Victors where the brake/coast jumper is (use a PWM cable). Pay attention to what your servo does when the power is removed from OI and program wisely!

We did somthing similar last year with a servo and contact switches.
