I have encoder.0.position-scale set to 400 and I have all three phases A,B,Z enabled as inputs. Me thinks it might have to do with pwmgen.0.scale or the pwmgen.0.offset. Not entirely sure what those do yet. I believe scale assumes you know the max rpm the motor will run and sets the increments accordingly by PWM percentage. I'm not real clear on it. The command speed of say 1000 rpm is very close to the Pypanel display speed. Any value below 1000 in the panel is suspect.
