New board, steppers and when I autohome the x goes the correct way but the y and z turn the opposite way and go towards the max. How do I reverse the motor direction?

What is the board type? Can you reverse the connection of y and z motors? Is the endstop connected correctly?

Sorry about that it's a gt2560. Endstops are correct. When the x and y cables are switched. The x goes the correct way but the y still goes the opposite way

Switching y and z does yeild the correct direction though. What should I do to get the printer to work with them plugged into the correct sockets?

Oh, the motors can only be connected to gt2560 in one direction.
Maybe it's firmware issue, what is your printer type? Let me send you a correct firmware.

please send the firmware as well as instructions on how to burn the firmware to the gt2560 i3c. Do you email the firmware or post it here? Also should i use arduino 1.0.1 or 1.6.5 software on windows?

I suggest you use Arduino1.0.1 to upload the firmware:

Okay new firmware uploaded and it works correctly now. But when I start a print in repertoire it only preheats bed before starting print, but the manual preheating extruded works, is there a setting I can change?
