    Ok I've tried the new approach with changes to the PR2 every 100ms, all works well on a scope and on the motor, although the motor still glitches now and then on start up. Have a look at the noise levels:

    Huge is an understatement, this is measured directly on the plug to the driver, everything is grounded at this point, this includes:

    - chassis of the machine
    - motor
    - driver
    - screen on the PUL cable
    - screen on the encoder cable

    here's another print showing the noise levels with the motor stopped:

    I'm surprised the thing doesn't trigger itself. If I unplug the motor and disconnect from the drive, the noise levels drop significantly:

    The biggest question mark is the noise levels when I disconnect the screen on the PUL cable:

    Grounding the screen seems to make things worse for some reason. Yes the screen is only connected on one side, the other side is tied back.
