Hi,

I'm trying to drive large EV3 motors to absolute positions. I've been reading the docs here but there seem to be multiple ways to do it.

What is the difference between :
run_to_abs_pos(**kwargs)
and
on_to_position(speed, position, brake=True, block=True)

and how do these relate to the command:
COMMAND_RUN_TO_ABS_POS = 'run-to-abs-pos'

Thanks,

Ian.
