is there a command for ncq the lock a motor in place, sorta opposite to the
float command?  I have a arm that i have made and it sits sorta like a crane
with a motor to rotate it up and down.  Problem is i need it to stop at the
bottom to pick an object and move up and stay locked.  I've used all motors
and outputs so i was hoping for a software solution.

thanx.
