As far as I know, a standard DRO "reacts" too slow to give a correct feedback of the motors position.

I can show you what I did, but I am not a specialist and the software I use is in french. However, the demo version with limited functions can be downloaded here for free : iprocam

I recommand you this site : Mach3. This is exactly the same type of software. I know it's very popular and they have a dedicated forum.
