I built my colorwheel motor control circuit using a microprocessor.

It takes a long time for the disc to lock because of the "flywheel effect" but it eventually locks, maybe if i apply more braking force against the motor/disc, it will lock faster and suppress "hunting"

But the microprocessor controlled servo that i used, seems to be rock solid once it locks in. works with various types of motors and setups I have tried. I havent messed with it in a couple of years though, other than i got a new hub from cliff. But i scratched the wheel so bad from tucking it away and pulling it back out, that its almost unwatchable. Which reminds me, i need to send his hub back to him, as i had his copied and recessed to hold magnets for the timing pickup.
