Test LinuxCNC without motors and encoders connected
[EDIT:] Try adding remap.py to your /python folder (knew I'd forget something!). I've edited my other post , so it's all in one place.

It is my intention to read the manual as Bevins suggested.
But there's a lot to read, and try and error takes time!
I just spend 2 hours just to enable an external estop

But I have another question. I don't have much experience, so my question can be stupid. But anyway

My machine is a Biesse Rover. This machine has retractable stops to align the material. The stops I want to use is on the left and at the rear.
But now I see that LinuxCNC has a different WCS system.
Maybe I don't use the right words, but I mean that I'm not able to set the correct WCS in Fusion 360 (and linuxcnc) . If I align the material to the rear left corner, this means that the +Y-axis direction should point to the front of the machine.
The +X-direction to the right, and the +Z-axis upwards.
Can I solve this?
I hope my explanation is clear

In Fusion360 you have to change your WCS to match when you do your cam.

I've spend hours to find a solution, but it looks like the WCS is fixed. The only thing that you can do is change the origin and turn it around. Changing the direction of only 1 axis is impossible.
In the screen capture included in this message is the origin correct, also the X and Z axis, but I want to point the Y to the other site.
If I do so, the X turns the other way...

I've re-configured my machine axes so that Y-axis runs from the back stops (home) and negative towards the front (originally, that was positive direction like yours). Also did the same for the Z-axis for best CAM-compatibility, but it sounds like the Biesse is opposite?
I don't use Fusion360 (yet) so can't help set your WCS, but in the package I use, the WCS is in the top-left corner and I model in the X+/Y- quadrant.

I just tried fusion360 and I can get it correctly. You should be able to also. I dont like how fusion360 does their WCS as it is a bit tough to get it right.
Wait...... if your Y is pointing to the back of the machine then I think that is correct.

Thats correct.
