Hi , is there any way to connect encoder to arduino to count encoder pulses and send the count to linuxcnc 
i want to use 2000ppr encoder so i want to use arduino insted of pc to count pulses
any help will be appreciated

What RPM?
There is a project here using ESP32 in wireless mode for spindle encoder counting that works very well as described by the maker,
github.com/futurelink/linuxcnc-spindle-encoder
If you do have a high RPM spindle, do not bother with it as Arduino will not be able to count, for a 24000RPM with 2000PPR encoder you will have to count 3200000 counts per second or 3.2MHz !
Using interrupts in arduino might just get to count up to 1MHz, but that would be really pushing it.

spindle speed 2000-2500 rpm

2500rpm/60sec=41.66RPS
600PPR*4=2400counts per revolution
41.66*2400=100000 counts per second.
It should work as long as you use the interupts in arduino, so no "digital_read" in the code.

How do you intend to send the count and control signals to the PC?

i'm trying to do my best but i hope to find some help here
all i want is to read encoder away of pc becouse parallel port is too slow
i'm trying to use arduino becouse it's the only hardware available in my country , i built a cnc lathe it works very good but when i do some thread the encoder read well in slow speed under 500rpm but when speed up the encoder out of rang and the machine stops
any help on this case
