The pics you asked for are attached. I have followed Norberts connection sheet and double checked all connections after re-install of my 7I76e.

I am trying to use the Test/Tune Axis button in pncConf to move the steppers. Changing settings in there as stated above and using the enable button and run or + -
 
As a test -build the config and test the config (rather then using pnconf's test) to see if the steppers move. Sometimes the test gets bugs and doesn't work properly.

Does that drive have a switch on the end to change from 24v to 5v, if so make sure it is on 5V

As the DM542T does.

@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.

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

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