I cant say anything to problem 2, but as for problem #1:I made a header board for 5A-75E8.2 and started testing the litexcnc firmware and encountered the following problems.
1- When I close the linuxcnc software or press the estop key, the motors start moving.
2- For homing using encoder z pulse, after receiving the z pulse instead of stopping, it makes a strange movement at full speed and then stops.
I posted this problem before but couldn't find a solution for it.
Does anyone have any suggestions for solving these problems?
Are you trying to use software for an e-stop? This is a terrible idea! IMO anyways. An E-stop Should cut power to your drives AND send a stop signal to your software. (one exception is: sending an e-stop signal to your spindle. if you cut power it will spin down for a long time. if you send it an e-stop signal it should stop almost instantly)

Linuxcnc wont work in a VM, you have to install on some actual hardware.
In all honesty think how you want to use your lathe, if you haven't had a lot of exposure of using a lathe I'd spend some time (12 months) learning how to use a lathe.
If you are a machinist, you know what you're doing.
