Please beware that this is an early development state of this app. With the RM21.03 (version 1.8) end of this month there will be the first release of the IDE app that includes graphical and textual coding.
The axis creation is not longer usable as a command but only in the project settings because of a different approach of the axes handling. So for your case in the first line you are using this command from an even older version that is not longer available in the version you are using. In the second line the function of the object "myAxis" is not declared.
I would suggest you should wait for the first release and then go on with tests from there on.

Yes of course, but then you have to know the exact address (IP and port or so on)of your backend you'ld like to reach and be beware of security issues when opening new communication ways into the ctrlX CORE.
And the other way when using the REST API the requests can of course be sent from each client you like.

At the moment the USB functionality is quite limited please see this thread for more information.
Actually Ethernet based protocols are possible for connecting devices to the ctrlX CORE like EtherCat, IO-Link, UDP, socket and so on.

Each node that is available in the ctrlX Data Layer can "consume" REST calls. So please have a look in the SDK for ctrlX AUTOMATION to see in the example "datalayer.register.node" how to add own nodes.

Sorry for the waiting time, I had to talk to some people about that.
For our landing page / „ctrlX Dashboard“: We will add a technical description how to get back to the main page without using the browser URL to the development guide or how to. This functionality is also used by apps from Rexroth. I asked our R&D to add a small description here.
We are also working on a better (or general) description of the user story. If you have suggestion feel free to get in touch with your ctrlX World contact person for further discussion.
A complete rework of the guide is planned for the release RM21.07.
