if your motor direction is correct with manually control then just need to change the home direction in the firmware and upload it.

No, it's not correct in manual. I'm looking into changing the firmware but Arduino will not recognize the printer.

Howdy
I had the same problem when I first powered up the printer with the X axis going the wrong way, the switch stopped the motor when I pushed it, so the switch was ok. The problem I found was that I had fastened the X table to the bottom of the belt, it was suppose to connect to the top of the belt. When I changed the table connection from the bottom to the top of the belt, this reversed the table direction so that it now moved the correct direction going to the home switch.
The other problem that I ran into was the Y axis always going away from the home switch, this problem turned out to be a bad connection on the push terminal that went to the switch. The home switch is normally closed, so with the broken connection, the Y axis though it was on the switch and was trying to move off the switch. Once the connection to the switch was repaired, the Y axis moved toward the home switch like it was suppose to. Hope this helps anyone having similar problems. GYRO

Hi,
You mean your motor has a wrong direction?If it does,you can modify the corresonding motor direction in the firmware then upload it to the motherboard on Arduino.
Refer to the post on how to modify motor direction:
