If you mean a 24VDC wall adapter (an transformer puts out AC)
one possibility is reversed polarity

Assuming you wired the + 24V field power to TB2 pin 1 (Bottom of P2)
and 24V common to TB2 pin 8 (top pin of P2),
You should get a yellow field power light on the top middle of the 7I77 card

You are scaring me little a bit mentioning TB6 as that is the serial
expansion interface and does not want any pin connected to 24V

opps tb2 is correct

Also it was a board mount transformer 24v 500 milli amps

Anyone have any ideas why Linux cnc won't stay up after running through the pncconfig wizard?.

If linuxcnc wont start with a particular hal/ini file set,
you have to look at the error messages to determine
the cause.

Usually the hal line number and offending
statement are printed

When I start Linux cnc and select the file I would like to use the config file I made is there. When I go and select it the ok button doors not light up. I don't get far enough to get an error message

One possibility worth checking...

Does the screen look something like this?



If so, you need to expand the "my-mill" or whatever folder to choose the config.
