Hi,

Thanks for your comments.
The encoder I have is rated to 6,000rpm and has 5000 pulses per revolution. Although I doubt I'll ever run it that fast, theoretically it could be pushing out four quadrature pulses, each at 30MHz.

When I was testing, I did not have any stepper motors or spindle motor ...

Hi,
Does anyone know the maximum "pulse per revolution" value the Acorn will accept?

For a lathe conversion I have bought a 5000ppr incremental quadrature encoder which I want to use on the spindle motor. I have entered the 20,000 count value for the required parameter (5000 x 4) and it sort of ...
