| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| [brake](#brake)       | Blocking of motors for braking for a specified time. |
| [power](#power)       | Returns the current motor power.                     |
| [powerOff](#poweroff) | Turns the motor off.                                 |
| [setPower](#setpower) | Turns on the motor with the specified power.         |

## brake

Blocking of motors for braking for a specified time in milliseconds.

#### Syntax

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```javascript
brick.motor(motorName).brake(durationMs);
brick.motor("motorName").brake(durationMs);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```
brick.motor(motorName).brake(durationMs);
brick.motor("motorName").brake(durationMs);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

As a parameter, you must specify the time in milliseconds.

## power

Returns the current motor power (-100 to 100).

#### Syntax

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```javascript
var pow1 = brick.motor(motorName).power();
var pow2 = brick.motor("motorName").power();
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```
pow1 = brick.motor(motorName).power();
pow2 = brick.motor("motorName").power();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## powerOff

Turns the motor off.

#### Syntax

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```javascript
brick.motor(motorName).powerOff();
brick.motor("motorName").powerOff();
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```
brick.motor(motorName).powerOff();
brick.motor("motorName").powerOff();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## setPower

Turns on the motor with the specified power.

#### Syntax

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```javascript
brick.motor(motorName).setPower(power);
brick.motor("motorName").setPower(power);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```
brick.motor(motorName).setPower(power);
brick.motor("motorName").setPower(power);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

As a parameter, you must specify the power. The power is set in the range from -100 ("full reverse") to 100 ("full forward"). 0 corresponds to a `force break`, i.e. the motor stops, it is blocked and remains energized.
