firmware update error from Colombia. I'm about to cry

[RafaMorales Colombia]

Hello, greetings from Colombia.
I bought an I3 Pro B 3d printer ... more than 6 months ago

But it was a real headache ... What a complex thing
My engines work inversely .. do not go to the end-top
I try re-define
#define INVERT_X_DIR true
#define INVERT_Y_DIR true
but nothing...

I have tried to update the firmware but the source code 'Marlin'
Has errors that do not let compile .. upload the firmware ..

Someone has some instructive that works ...
Thank you.

Trate de compilarlo en una versión más vieja de Marlin.

Las versiones nuevas de Marlin en ocasiones no compilan bien código viejo... verifique que versión usan en el manual de la impresora y trate con esa misma versión. desinstale la versión nueva e instale esa.

Hi,Rafael
Try Arduino 1.0.1:

And here is the firmware for ProB:

I have the same problem. Have downloaded this copy of Marlin and am unable to move the axes properly. When I use auto home the x and y bump off the mechanical stops, and the z moves up from its last position. Is this what I am looking for?
If I try to use the Repetier software the manual controls will only function in one direction. It seems we need some instruction on what to look for on startup. Thanks

Also how do I move the Z axis down without going back and changing the argument from false to true temporarily?

OK - found the solution to my problem, and maybe to the gentleman from Columbia. I had inadvertedly plugged the Y cut-off into the Xmax, and Z into the Ymin, instead of the proper sockets. The schematic on page 92 of the PDF (provided by Geeetech) clearly shows the proper positioning - X to Xmin, Y to Ymin, and Z to Zmin. I had looked at the pictures on pages 102 and 103, and misinterpreted what I was seeing. I think Groucho Marx had it about right: "Are you going to believe me, or your own lying eyes?"
