I had this machine running years ago on a cheap controller. Then bought this 7i76e and got some basic functionality then the machine went into storage for years. 
Now I'm trying to get it properly set up and add some features. 
I thought I would make a thread for this phase of the project instead of each individual question. 

 

Yes, I just tested it and it gets everything

That was fixed  on Nov 6 but it appears that buildbot2   has not built since Oct 24.The original buildbot is useless for master branch as the latest distro on it is buster.

Here is how to configure the Axis GUI to start in fullscreen:

Create a new configuration file in your home directory (or edit the existing one, mine was absent) called .axisrc, open a terminal and run:
Add the following code to the .axisrc file:
Press 'ctl + x' then 'y' to save and exit nano in the terminal.

For these changes to take effect restart the Axis GUI (or restart the system).

The Axis GUI window will now occupy the entire screen, hiding the window borders and title bar. It will cover all OS navigation bars and menus.

If you want LinuxCNC to start the machine automatically in fullscreen upon starting the system you can:

NOTE: use alt + tab to navigate between programs in fullscreen mode
