General Mach Discussion / Re: Newbie Help Please to Stupid Question Number 2

I just checked the PWM output by Mach and it's relationship to what is entered in config pulleys and all is as it should be - spot on. I'd start to wonder about the quality/linearity of your kit in how good it is at converting the PWM into the control voltage needed by your spindle controller. Also - do you actually have an index pulse from your spindle? I haven't seen you mention one if you have. Without an index pulse I can't see how Mach can calibrate the spindle.
