Good call. I don't personally have a BrickPi but I can certainly try to write some code if someone else can test it.

I'm trying to test manually setting port modes on my EV3. This works with tacho motors, but when I have a US sensor connected I see the following behavior: ```...

Ah, got it -- I didn't realize it wasn't supported on the EV3 ports. I opened a PR on the python demo repo with a sample program; would you be...

I'll link to this example in docs and maybe quote some of it too.

@dlech Do you have any particular recommendations for where that should go? I am tempted to put it in our FAQ but no one reads the FAQ 😢

It's called "brake" because A) that's the common word people will _expect_ and B) that's the term EV3-G uses. If we expected people to frequently use the underlying `brake` mode...

Someone else expressed the same confusion to me recently, so you're not the only one to ask. What do others think? If we are going to rename it, we have...

You're suggesting we could rename the `brake` parameter to `coast` (the inverse) in our public APIs? I like the change but I'm worried it might be too disruptive.

Yeah, as it is now, that is correct: you have to handle it manually. I'm somewhat surprised it happens that often for you.

Sorry for the delay on this! I don't have a good immediate answer here -- this definitely isn't a great experience, but I think the only real solution would be...
