{% endhint %}

Provides control of the robot motor (power or servo motor) connected to ports M1, ..., M4, S1, ..., S6.

| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| [brake](/en/trik/programming-code/object-brick/class-motor.md#brake)       | Blocking of motors for braking for a specified time. |
| [power](/en/trik/programming-code/object-brick/class-motor.md#power)       | Returns the current motor power.                     |
| [powerOff](/en/trik/programming-code/object-brick/class-motor.md#poweroff) | Turns the motor off.                                 |
| [setPower](/en/trik/programming-code/object-brick/class-motor.md#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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.trikset.com/en/trik/programming-code/object-brick/class-motor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
