To be able to make it go backwards you have to have a special experimental branch of Linuxcnc installed.

Thanks for the replies. As I become more familiar with the OS I will look forward to experimenting with this feature. If successful I'll use it on my retrofit, which I'll be documenting in this thread.

Thank you for the link Todd.

an92626, any code you could drum up would be helpful, and the handwheel velocity scaling factor which you discovered through experimentation will most likely benefit everyone, at least as a starting point, because if we know how many PPR your handwheel produces and its operating mode we should be able to calculate from there. I won't be getting to this stage for a while though - first I have to get the machine running!
