I have changed in the ini file the value of encoder scale 1440 to 360 and now the speed reading is correct.
Is there a bug or it it something I'm missing out?

with a 360 points per revolution quadrature encoder you will have 360*4 counts per revolution. If you turn one time the spindle it should count 1440.

I know, before I was using mesa board, the ini files was showing 1440, and the rpm was correct.
Now,with mesa, if in the file the value is 1440, the displayed rpm is 4 times lower.

Do you have a setting of "counter_mode = 1" somewhere in the HAL file?

Yep

hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1


So that will count 360 counts/turn with a 360 PPR encoder
(and will not count in both directions properly)

Note PnCConf will do this if you select "Single Input Encoder"
Meaning a "A" only encoder

Yes, you were right, I had that "Single input encoder" checked, now its fine! :)
