Cannot get stepper motors to move

I would use LinuxCNC to test the drives, not pncconf.

LinuxCNC will get an instant error if there's a communication issue

@Clive S: there is no switch for voltage on these drivers.

@cmorley: I tried your suggestion and received an error that linux cannot connect to the board. I had this problem before and PCW got me going, but now im wondering if Linux hasnt been talking to the 7I76e this entire time. My computer sees the board eg. ip a and ping. And now network manager is giving me a error about gateway incompatible with 'never-default'. I have set never-default to false in terminal, but same issue.

Fixed the 'never-default" , but still no connection to Linuxcnc....

will Debian 11 5.10.0-11-rt-amd64 running Linuxcnc 2.9 actually work, and by "work" I mean operate a machine?

What does the command

ip a

report?

enp1s0 is not setup correctly (it has two IP addresses: 10.10.10.10 and an aliased address: 10.10.10.100)

The 10.10.10.10 address needs to be removed

Do you know where i need remove this?
Network manager does not show a .10 address

Found a .10 under interfaces and deleted it.
now ip a shows:

ok, now linuxcnc will start, but my control buttons are greyed out. toggled estop, no change
