Is it possible the meter movement might fit the older case?


Actually, the "new" meter fits the hole and looks about the same type. The differences are that the RME has a yellow, logo'd, back-lit scale, whereas the new meter has a white face. Both have "S" scales. Maybe I should simply count blessings and press on?

Some meters, particularly the older ones, can be disassembled. In this case you may be able to swap parts until you have a working one with the right appearance, and a pile of useless parts that look like they could be from a meter.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
