I’m building a cnc lathe and I have my X and Z axis working, but I now want make it capable of cutting threads.
1: How do I connect a rotary encoder to mach3, is it done through the breakout board as I don’t seem to have a input option for spindle speed?
2: Can I use the rotary encoders sold on ebay, see link or will I need to make my own?
but my main question is, how do I connect the RPM pulses to MACH3?
