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.

Hi Thanks again for your help. I now have power to stepper motors but they will not run, they sound stalled or trying to run to fast so do not rotate
Do you have any idea ??

Double check you have A+A-B+B- motor connections in the correct order on the driver. If incorrect you can get this happen due to dir conflict.

Which model numbers are the motors specifically.?.
What is actual machine?.

Most likely happening because your motor tuning in mach3 is set for the Gecko drives and these cheaper TB-based drives cannot handle the same tuning setup. Try backing off the velocity and Acceleration by 50% and try again. When you have it working stable then slowly increase them one at a time until they start to stall again then back off again by 10%.
