Go to Post Build season is the best time of the year. Better than Christmas because the presents are cooler, and better than new years cause you get to stay up later. - burkey_turkey [more]

Re: Preventing Motor Stalling

Your arm shouldn't back drive with 2 CIMs in place! If it is you should consider gearing it down a lot more! How long does it take your arm to rotate 90 Degrees?

Or use the Jaguar/Victor in Brake mode where it shorts the motor and prevents it from back driving (I do not know how this is done in code however).

You could also use some surgical tubing or springs to balance your arm and make it "Weightless" or as near to that as you can get.
