Add velo-scale instruction to readme #5

Open makebreaker opened 1 year ago

Cheers for creating this, it has been immensely useful, but I spent ages trying to figure out how to get velocity mode working... turns out there's a velocity scale factor that wasn't obvious. Proposed change is just adding that info to the readme.

Cheers

would you describe that how you calculate the velo-scale and pos-scale ?

It's encoder counts per revolution, though on my drives there's a scale factor I can configure (ie even though the encoder is 17bit I've configured it to give 10,000 counts per revolution output) so it depends on your drive settings also
