    :cheers cool :) it helps me a lot fpr programming also, i have another project in parallel for haptic guns for VR :D i used it for python programming from zero on .... i had some fails but after many iterations it works great so far for my prototype - its able to grab gunshot vibrations from openVR and sends it to a haptic device which simulates the recoil :) feels awesome in VR . i have to work on the prototyp and the weight management a bit ;) back to your brake .. so you want to use the brake only when u push an emergency button and not when the actuator just holds its position ? chatgpt suggest to do that if this happens to save energy. but i have no idea to achive that with a normal DC motor which has no internal brake mechanism ..so i would jsut built one without ....
