Lowering Pulse Count From Rotary Encoder For Mach3

Posted by neil523958

I am converting my lathe to work with Mach3.

The lathe has an existing encoder on the spindle (HP HEDS-5310 446J).

Reading through the Mach3 documentation it looks like I can't use the
output from the encoder as the resolution is too high and pulse width
too low.

Is there an easy way of lowering the pulse count or should I just go for
a simpler solution?
