async PreciseFlexArm.start_zero_torque(axis_mask: int = 1) → None

Place axes of the selected robot in zero torque mode.

Individual axes may be placed into zero torque mode while the remaining axes are servoing.

Parameters:

axis_mask (int) – The bit mask specifying the axes to be placed in torque mode. The mask is computed by OR’ing the axis bits: 1 = axis 1, 2 = axis 2, 4 = axis 3, 8 = axis 4, etc.
