Still can get it stable the rpm just are all over the place The only way I can get it operate close is to set the scale gain to 1 and set s from 1 to 20 rps then it works When I look at the ppmc.0.encoder.03.velocity signal it counts by 4 witch I can see why the rpms are all over the place 4*60 =2

Greetings; While I await a new soldering iron so I can fix one of the lags in the spindle control & make my electronic fuse do an estop idea work, and intermittently studying the pix Andy sent the links to, that is what I am going to try and build. However, the extreme low angle I see means it
