MD10-Shield

Hello,

I need to run a motor that will draw close to 10A continuously, so I am thinking of using the 10A Motor Driver Shield from Cytron (10Amp 7V-30V DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino).

In there example code they control the acceleration, speed and direction of the motor. I was wondering if the best way to have the motor in a rest position (not turning) would be to set the speed equal to '0' or if there is a brake function like with the Arduino driver?

Also any tips are gladly welcome, as I am fairly new to this.

Thank you.

I figure this doesn't really belong under programming, my bad.
