Re: Speed Controller brake/coast setting

The suggested method is one we have used over the years. A servo with the cross attachment is mounted in such a way that when it turns it bumps into a microswitch that is wired across the brake pins on the speed controller. Controlled from software the servo either closes the switch or opens it.
