In English please. Alex.
Yes, ALWAYS home the machine after switching on, resetting the controller etc - it's the only way to establish the MACHINE co-ordinate system...

Turn it upside down in order to probe just Z. Alex.
Did you follow the link? Lots of good advice there. Alex.
You have a depth of cut of 1.5 mm and you are plunging straight in with a 1/8" bit. Your feedrate for the next move of 3810 mm/min is a bit fast...
Sounds as though you "lost" your usb drivers (corrupted, Windows update??). docs:blackbox:install-drivers [OpenBuilds Documentation] Alex.

The macro David is suggesting would go to X0 Y0 at a safe height, then you could go to Z0. If you want the macro to do that last move for you add...
What Fusion 360 license do you have? - the personal use license doesn't allow post processing more than one tool, so you wouldn't be able to...
You need to calibrate your steps/mm - leadscrews are not absolutely accurate. Openbuilds control has a wizard for that. Alex.
Full steps, yes. But at 8*microstepping it's 1600 steps/revolution. Alex.
