I really love this content. An encoder slice from Beckhoff is quite expensive and hard to find these days. A board like yours that can read multiple encoders would be a breath of fresh air especially for the home hobby shop machinist. I saw that in the linuxcnc groups there are discussions about jerk limiting, if we could also have ethercat, this would be the next level! :D
Many chips have hardware pulse counter. I know STM32F1xx has it and ESP32. Whats good about it is that you dont have to worry if code will be busy and miss counts.
I use ESP32 for encoders and it has hardware support for 8 encoders (4 differential pairs) can you make multiple devices/encoders on single one EtherCat module?

Excellent work!
Love to see it come through.
Thanks for your videos!
Perhaps some PCB mounting holes?
