No, because that would leave the machine in G0 mode and you almost certainly
want G1.
Possibly you want to G0 to the position in 1

Roger,
hur star det till? I had been fighting with IGES conversion to CATIA or
Autocad since about 1995 and never got anything satisfying out of it.
Forget it if you want to be productive.
What about your lathe: broken seems to signify some electric defect?
Lathes don't break apart.

After getting started, something seems funny. In the pncconf test window,
something is interfering with proper operation of the stepgen. It runs,
but when it decides to stop, I have to back out of the window, and try
again. When I run linuxcnc (2.6.0) when I try to move, it says joint 0
You could try a hm2-stepper sample config. Take 5i23.ini, change the
name of board to 5i25 and edit the config line to remove all the
loading firmware related things, but keep the number of stepgens, and
see, if it works. I think that for standard, trivial machine this
could be good starting

One thing unclear to me, what controls the enable pin, is it manual, or
controlled by the stepgen?
