# stop
Stop sending commands to the servo so that its rotation will stop at the current position.
```sig
servos.P0.stop()
```
A servo is stopped by not sending anymore commands to drive the rotation angle. This lets you stop a servo at its current postion which is useful for stopping a continuous rotation servo. The servo drive is stopped but it's shaft has no force on it to lock the current position.
## Example
Connect a servo to pin `P0`. Rotate the servo clockwise at `75` percent of full speed. Wait `3` seconds and then stop the servo.
```blocks
servos.P0.run(75)
basic.pause(3000)
servos.P0.stop()
```
