Re: MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder

I ran Mach4 for years using a single-pulse setup. I only changed to an encoder a few years back ?

Subject: Re: [MachCNC] MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder? It's just I had a question on how hard to migrate from a MACH3 1 PPR to a MACH4 system and whether mechanical and electrical changes were required to use MACH4 due to a quadrature encoder requirement for RPM measurement.? ? Back in the days of single parallel port it was an issue due to lack of inputs and horrendous prices of quadrature encoders.? ? John ? ? It works either way, unless something has changed in the last few years ? ? Can MACH4 Lathe still work with only a 1PPR spindle sensor or does it now require a full quadrature encoder and Index pulse?
