Hi Parviz; As a fairly new Linux-EMC user; I can understand the steep learning curve.
A simple question or two:, is there an emergency stop signal turned on? Do the stepper motors get harder to turn when you think the machine is ready to go? > This probably indicates that the drives are not being enabled.
