Using an optical rotary encoder to move a stepper motor

Is there a simple way to change the script to ignore a given number of pulses from the 600 PPR ROE, to effectively make it a 50 or 100 PPR roe? This is less expensive than buying newer encoders for the project.

Sure. After the first pulse, count up the pulses to what ever number you want. If the count is NOT what you want, DON'T move the stepper. When the count reaches your magic number, reset the count and let the stepper move.
