Re: PID How to hold an arm in a fixed position without a locking gear box

Or using a "big" motor, CIM as an example to do the main drive of an arm and use the window motor for its anti back drive feature in conjunction, it won't add much to lift but locks position pretty well.

BTW globe motors back drive pretty easily with seemingly little forces on them
