This one?

Yes.
PC+ (5V+) To ALL pul+, Dir+ (&En+ if you use it) on the drives.
Pul- (pins 2,4,6,8 on board) to Pul- on drivers.
Dir- (pins 3,5,7,9 on board) to Dir- on drivers.
For En- I used p14.

Or the little white plugs. Mine are marked +5v, CLK, CK, EN. (CLK is pul, CK is dir).

Then used p16 for coolant and p17 for a relay NC position (had grief with the onboard)

Is all here:

To be honest. ANY board that has pulse, direction, enable, 5v+, 5v-, can run a stepper driver.

Hi sorry I am still having problems, I have bought a stepper diver and wired it up I still have all lights and all functions on Mach3 screen set working but still NO power to steppers. If I turn the computer off the stepper locks .

You need to show how you have it wired . also you will need 12-24v and 5V connected to the bob

Not very informative. Do you have it wired as per post #12?.
These boards do require a 12-24v supply added on the right hand side to run the spindle control AND the inputs. The 5v usb supplies the outputs only.
I see you don't have the larger supply yet so....

Is E-stop turned off in Mach3?.
Do you have power to the driver?.
Some drivers require the enable signal to be used.

Are the wires actually the same config on both board and driver?. Or did you not look and just plug it in?.

I need a close up of the driver connectionns showing the symbols/names, or written down. Pul+/- dir+/- en+/- etc.

Blurry pictures are as good as useless, and you need to give more specific info. If you can't take a good picture then at least draw a little diagram showing where each wire connects. Also, show the settings you have in Mach3, screenshots work best.
