32 32  * The servos use stepper motors and do NOT include mechanical brakes. If the stepper motor is unable to retain or move to a desired angle (insufficient torque), the motor will rotate freely as opposed to hold the last position

To reset this button, rotate the red "mushroom" in the direction indicated by the white arrows and it will spring out.
