Are you planning a spindle encoder?

Yes eventually. I have a classic ladder file for the 6 position tool changer from a YouTube guy called the  feral engineer also.

I ask because there is no spindle encoder support in EC500.
I seen there is mpg encoder in config, but i cant test anything because I have not machine for test yet.
(There are some reasons that I can't use my lathe. I build a model of lathe, but not finished yet.)
I wonder, is the ability of use mpg-encoder inputs for spindle...
(I need rigid tapping, not simple threading with index only.)

Im not sure, I think there is the ability in Remora for high speed encoder, but it's not yet implemented with this board. 

The Remora hardware abstraction makes this possible.

I've just added the software encoder module from the 3D printer version of Remora. I tested it on the MPG encoder inputs and it's working. I don't have a 24v encoder to test on the normal inputs. 

Version 1.1.0 is in the repo for testing.

In the config.txt file add the following:

BTW, the encoder module also supports an index input as well. The counting speed is limited to the base thread frequency.
