## Phidget BLDC Motor.lvlib:BLDCMotorSetTargetBrakingStrength.vi

When a motor is not being actively driven forward or reverse, you can choose if the motor will be allowed to freely turn, or will resist being turned.

- A low `BLDCMotorTargetBrakingStrength` value corresponds to free wheeling, this will have the following effects:
  - The motor will continue to rotate after the controller is no longer driving the motor (i.e. `BLDCMotorVelocity` is 0), due to inertia.
  - The motor shaft will provide little resistance to being turned when it is stopped.
- A higher `BLDCMotorTargetBrakingStrength` value will resist being turned, this will have the following effects:
  - The motor will more stop more quickly if it is in motion and braking has been requested. It will fight against the rotation of the shaft.
- Braking mode is enabled by setting the `BLDCMotorVelocity` to `BLDCMotorMinVelocity`
