How to stop or freeze the EV3 large motor in position How do I stop or freeze the large motor in a fixed position? I have a forklift type attachment that will lift to the precise height, but will not stay in position due to the weight of the attachment.
I know I can use a worm gear to solve this problem but wanted to see if there were any other solutions before redesigning the attachment.
I have tried using rotations, seconds, and degrees with a STOP at the end. Occasionally, it will stay in place but usually it drops to the mat surface.
According to the official documentation you could use
hold()

which

Stops the motor and actively holds it at its current angle.


Note: My assumption here is that you are referring to this

as &quot;large motor&quot;. If you are using a PF Large Motor:

then this advice is useless, as those can't be controlled with such precision due to the lack of an internal rotation sensor.
