Hi,

Is that possible to stop and hold
torque from a servo using "HIGH"
or other command?

Because the "pulsout" could stop the
servo but without torque.

Thanks: Joe

    If I understand you correctly, you are probably talking about a servo
    modified for continuous rotation. If you output the center pulse
    (usually 1.5mS) the servo should "resist" changes. If you don't output
    any pulse, the shaft will be free to turn.

    Or do I not understand what you are asking?

    Thanks Al:

    But I forgot to writte that my idea is to
    stop a servo (continous or not) but holding
    the torque.
    Because if I use 1.5mS the servo stops
    but without holding torque.

    Thanks: Joe

    I think he meant putting the PULSOUT command
    in an infinite loop. Won't that hold the 'torque'?
