  1. Quite sure.
    The N is a gnd, so connect all of the negative sides to this.
    the buffers output a 5V step, direction and enable signal, so the PUL+ goes to the S, the Dir+ to the D and the ENA+ to E.
    Also don't use the USB to power the board, it is very finicky.

Which is the way the OP has it wired apparently, assuming the red wire is to +5v. What's hard to see from these pics is the drive to motor wiring; to check the pairing of the 8 wires down to 4.

    @skydeal do you have Mach3 set for active low and pulse length to 5? And can you list the motor wiring.
