    Is this your first time using emc?

    Did you start the stepconf wizard in the "cnc" menu?
    With stepconf, can you get the motors to turn?

    If you can tell more about what you did it would be easier to help. There is too much that can go wrong just to start writing possibilities down.

    In the software did you unclick the E Stop and click the power button before trying to use the jog buttons? Otherwise more info is needed.

    In the attached files I provided the connections and the breakout board type, and yes I connect the power supply and did all the necessary work, but no respond.
    In addition that I don't now how to check every component if it is work correctly or not.
    the stepper got too hot when I turn on the power supply.

    Unfortunately I think you answered yourself. Check your wiring, the steppers shouldn't get hot.

    Well, it doesn't help you if I read your diagram. You have to check your wiring, not the diagram...

    Its impossible for us to help you without more information. Recheck all your connections, wiring diagrams and settings and come back if you have any specific questions.

    Well since you said you have checked your wiring to the diagram..
    Well the next thing I might do is check each individual component.
    disconnect the power supply and check the output.
    disconnect the breakout board and check that it actually sends out pulses with a multimeter.
    The motors can become quite hot if the driver doesn't lower the output when it stops.
