Update:
Switching to X11 works MUCH better for Axis, but it still doesn't understand multitouch in the Axis preview.
Switching to X11 can be done by
1.   Advanced => X11
2. I had to install the gldriver from here to get X11 to show output:  askubuntu.com/questions/1501903/x11-sess...10-on-raspberry-pi-5

This also seems to have fixed the issues with the on-screen keyboard (onboard).
At this point it is a fully functional system, with some minor annoyances with navigating the preview window. 
I will make a patch for Axis to try and address some of the touch bugs.

Im getting to hooking up my cut60 plasma cutter to the board. using output 00  + and -, the torch fires as soon as i plug the connector to the board. I checked the board side and have OL resistance between the 2 ports when closed and very little when commanded open. i even tried wiring in a relay to control the torch and the 5v relay turns on the same way.
Anyone have any insight on what this could be?

Rod, nice documentation!
Could you explain what is the difference from Marco's implementation? From my point ow view, same file usage in ini and in hal. I did not dig deeper in code.
The offset is implemented in your version?

How would you control it if it was yours. I have a mesa 7i96s for control hardware. I'm open to suggestions on what method of control to use. Furthermore, I'm not familiar with the other methods. I'm not familiar with step rate method either. At this point, I'm just kind of flying blind. Is there any reading on the different methods I could read? I'm not afraid to get my hand dirty to do the work myself, but I get lost in the mountains of information available on this subject. Plus, the manual for the servo I bought is translated from Mandarin so it takes many times of reading it to understand as I am not familiar with rhetoric. And I still don't completely understand it. It comes slowly the more I play with it. en.bergerda.com/filedown.php?id=49 here is the link to that. As always, help is greatly appreciated.

A 1 to 2 meter long wingspan using a Clark-Y should do well. or longer if you prefer motor gliders.
it would probably depend more on how heavy the whole plane would be or all up weight.
If you're expecting to fly outside on mildly windy days or inside a warehouse .
Some of the indoor warehouse planes can get impressively large.

Well i finally had time to get after it this weekend. I had my boot usb in the back of my pc so i was resetting it up every restart. removed that and did another set up. after a bit of tuning its running like a champ in all axis. I did change the timer and it seems like some of the other errors i was having went away as well.

Thanks for all the help!

onto the next roadblock..

Download the 2.9.2 ISO and boot the PC from it, do not install, just use the wizard to create the config, save it to another USB or to hard drive, remove the USB, start the PC normally and use that config.

Videos getting very enjoyable, thank you.
Reminds me, i have to send some big wing designs to the owner of a 2x1x1 meter big foam cutter i built probably 15 years ago, what wing span would be OK for 2 of 2212 motors with 10" props, 2 bladed ones?
Must use the pink foam, that or the plain white one, no other types here.

New wrinkle. I went back and homed the system. As soon as it moves the error pops up, but I noticed no WCS was selected. I cannot select one until the system homes, but once I can, the backplotter works and the error doesn't reappear. It looks like I'm back where Unilogic was. Now I just have to figure out what part of my config the system dislikes.

another update video.
I am still running this on GRBL 5X but that's because I am trying to configure the simplest setup possible
So far this is version 1 and I am working on the cad models for Verion 2.though that isn't shown in this video.

I have checked my code and we are not doing it either!
I've added an issue to remind me to fix this.
I am out of time now until this evening.
Happy to accept a PR to correct this in the meantime.

I added the "Go to zero" function to "axis_tool_button.py" but it makes little sense from the user's point of view.
What do you think about adding the ability to add such functions in an easier way, maybe in an ini file?

Attached is a screenshot of the output.
Realtek is the onboard NIC.
The Intel NIC works well and has a MAX ping of 0.36 after one hour. 
This command 
 hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0
I have not yet tested this command for the new Intel NIC.

Apparently others have already had a problem with the driver!?

Addendum
I have just looked again at my laptop, i.e. the first device on which I installed LinuxCNC, to see which NIC driver is installed there. The r8169 RTL8168 is also listed there. I also had the problem with the laptop with the long ping time.  I have also attached a screenshot of the laptop.

Thank you all for your help.

I managed to find out that this drive works in Cyclic Synchronous Position Mode when using the EMC-MC01 card, which in turn works with Tamagawa encoders that have Data+ and Data- wires and power +/-. (Without the Clock signal!!!)
It is unclear if such cards are available for sale, as I have not yet found a price for them. However, they are mentioned in several documents. I will inquire with the dealer whether such a card exists and if it can be purchased now.

For now, I can only work (in position) with this drive in Profile Position Mode (6060 = "1").
I hope this information will be useful to someone
