Depends on what you're looking for and experience integrating servos. Many (too) options. Both MESA and PicoSystems have servo amp options. They've been invaluable to the LinuxCNC community. http://www.mesanet.com/motioncardinfo.html https://pico-systems.com/pwmservo.html I've heard that DMM is

I've seen this too. non-constant RPM when you know the rotating mass has enough inertia that the RPM can change so fast. What I found is that the resolution of measuring the encoder is low and what I see is quantization noise.This means I'm not sampling with enough bits. You are sampling to
