      Ok, so based on the results of your G91 G1 S2 X10 F3000 test you're moving in X+ and Y-, so...

      If it moves towards +X and -Y, or towards -X and +Y, turn the power off and swap the X and Y motor connections.

      Swap your motor connections and re-run the tests.

        @Phaedrux now it is moving the opposite way to it was before with the motor cables swapped.

          G1 S2 X10 F3000

          If the head moves diagonally in the +X and +Y directions, all is well.

          Ok, so all good there.

          G1 S2 Y10 F3000

          If the head moves diagonally in the +X and -Y directions, all is well.

          All good there too.

          Looking at your endstop configuration...
          You have M574 X1 Y1 S1 which puts both endstops at the low end of travel. But you actually have the Y endstop at the back, which is the high end of travel.

          So you should have M574 X1 Y2 S1.

          Now for your homeall you should have...

          ; homeall.g
          ; called to home all axes
          ;

          G1 H2 Z5 F6000          ; lift Z relative to current position
          G1 H1 X-315 F1800   ; move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass)
          G1 X5 F6000          ; go back a few mm
          G1 H1 X-315 F360        ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
          G1 H1 Y325             ; home Y axis
          G1 Y-15 F6000          ; go back a few mm
          G1 H1 Y315 F360        ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
          G90                     ; absolute positioning
          G1 X150 Y150 F6000       ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
          G30                     ; home Z by probing the bed
          G1 X0 Y0 Z5 ; return to a parked position
          

          With this you should be homing in the right direction and printed parts should no longer be mirrored.

            I changed the homeall.g file and now it is doing something strange when I press the homeall in DWC.

            it homes the X fine but then goes back to the Y and seems to slip then starts to move to the right and keeps going.

            just incase there is something messing around causing a conflict.

            on a side thought if I leave my homeall.g as it was it homes as it would normally (front left corner) if I was to move the endstop there would it cause any issues and would the prints be not mirrored or any other strange things?

            if it is easier to move the endstop for the Y I can do that easy.

              I forgot to mention before when I changed the homeall to make the Y move to the + direction, that would also need to happen in the home Y.

              Front left? But your picture before shows the Y endstop at the back. Perhaps a photo/video of your actual printer?

                @Phaedrux if I only change the 1st part

                M574 X1 Y2 S1
                

                But don't change the homeall.g file that is when it homes to the front left corner.

                If I also change the homeall.g and do the M574 X1 Y2 S1 that is when it homes to the rear as it was before but then seems to go to the Y endstop slips and then travels to the right.

                What I was trying to ask without confusing the issue was if I leave the homeall.g file unchanged and just change the config.g line to M574 X1 Y2 S1 as suggested and then move my optical Y endstop to the front of the machine so it is where it should have been in the 1st place would it be able to print things not mirrored / back to front etc or do I have to change the homeall.g file.

                I was only asking to see if there was a easier solution to the problem when the homeall.g file got changed and it causing the issue where it seems to hit the Y endstop and then slips and travels right.

                I will try and get a video of it doing the problem in a bit.

                EDIT
                couldn't upload the video here so here is the videos on youtube

                This is with just the M574 X1 Y2 S1 done in the config.g and not changing the homeall.g file.
                M574 X1 Y2 S1 Only

                This is with both the config.g file edited with M574 X1 Y2 S1 and also the homeall.g file edited with the changes as suggested which causes it to bounce on the Y endstop and then move off to the right.

                  I'm getting a headache, how bout you? 😁 We'll get there.

                  if I leave the homeall.g file unchanged and just change the config.g line to M574 X1 Y2 S1 as suggested and then move my optical Y endstop to the front of the machine so it is where it should have been in the 1st place would it be able to print things not mirrored / back to front etc or do I have to change the homeall.g file.

                  No. Because your original homeall has Y moving negative/low end, but M574 Y2 means the endstop is at the high end. So if you just moved the endstop you'd still end up with mirrored parts. The physical position of the endstop is irrelevance since we just have to tell the firmware where it is.

                  In your video where it hits the endstop and then continues to ride against the frame it looks like that's the point where it should be moving the center of the bed, but it thinks it's at the low end and that the bed is actually beyond the rail.

                  So let's take it from the top just to cross our Ts and dot our Is.

                  Please post your config.g, homing files as they are right now.

                  Then answer these tests.

                  With the power off, physically move the print head to the center of the bed. Power on and send G92 X150 Y150 Z5. This will tell the firmware to think that the Axis are homed and the position is close to the center of the bed.

                  Then use the jog buttons in the DWC.

                  Does X- move left and X+ move right?

                  Does Y- move to the front and Y+ to the back?

                  Also redo the G1 S2 X10 and G1 S2 Y10 tests as before.

                  Hopefully with all that information we can pin point what needs to be changed.

                    G1 S2 Y10 moves forwards and to the right

                    If there is anything else that you need let me know and I will upload my firmware to dropbox, or if you need to talk through this to make it easier then I can do that too. Basically whatever you need just let me know and thanks again for all the help.

                          Ok a couple more questions.

                          Which motor is plugged into which driver? I know we did some swapping, but how are they connected right now?

                          We're gonna try and make your configuration match my own, so here's what I have.

                          The left motor is connected to the X driver, the right motor is connected to the Y driver.

                          Then in the drives section for motor direction I have the opposite of you.

                          you have:

                          ; Drives
                          M569 P0 S1
                          M569 P1 S1
                          

                          I have:

                          ; Drives
                          M569 P0 S0
                          M569 P1 S0
                          

                          So make those changes to the motor wiring and the direction of rotation, and then do those motor tests again.

                          Also, when you say

                          G1 S2 X10 moves forwards and to the left
                          G1 S2 Y10 moves forwards and to the right

                          Does forwards mean towards the front of the printer or towards the back of the printer?

                            And your homez should use the same X Y position to probe the bed as used in home all. Right now you have

                            G90               ; absolute positioning
                            G1 X-18 Y15 F6000 ; go to first probe point
                            G30               ; home Z by probing the bed
                            

                            Except in your homeall right now it doesn't make a lot of sense.

                            G90
                            G1 X150 
                            G1 Y146 Y130 F6000      ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
                            G30
                            

                            The first one moves to just an X position, and the second line has two Y values. So I'm guessing it should be G1 X150 Y130 F6000 instead

                              Left motor is plugged into the X axis
                              Right motor is plugged into the Y axis

                              My motors are at the front of my machine

                              G1 S2 X10 moves to the rear right corner
                              G1 S2 Y10 moves to the front right corner (diagonally towards the front where the Y axis motor is)

                              X -10 moves right
                              X +10 moves left

                              Y -10 moves to the rear
                              Y +10 moves to the front
                              If I now try and home X & Y indiviually they move away from the endstops.
                              (If looking at the machine from the front the Y enstop is at the rear left and the X is on the left)

                              Also changed the home files as instructed to.

                                is that with the change to the drive direction?

                                    I'm at a bit of a loss currently.

                                    With the config as it is, I can't explain why the Y axis is still flipped from what it should be, yet the individual motor tests produce the correct motion.

                                    I'll need to sleep on it.

                                        Maybe. It may help to know how the phases are wired at the plug.

                                          @Phaedrux here you go hopefully this will help. 17HS15-1504S-X1.pdf
                                          I never even gave this a thought when I was plugging in the motor connectors I think they could be wrong from looking at the pdf and the duet 2 wifi wiring diagram.
                                          In true bonehead fashion I was looking where the black wire was to which way it needed to go on the duet and didn't give the others a thought. I really need to stop building things at 2am.

                                          Looking at the pdf and the duet wiring diagram and my thinking is this. (Hope this makes sense)
                                          2B 2A 1A 1B
                                          Red Blue Green Black this is how it is on the Duet

                                          My motors come wired up as

                                          A A\ B B
                                          Black Green Red Blue

                                          Now I can only assume that e.g A would be 1A & A\ would be 2A. If I am thinking on the right path then do I need to move the pins around on the duet connection end of the motor leads so that they are in this order.

                                          DUET BOARD
                                          2B 2A 1A 1B
                                          Red Blue Green Black

                                          MOTOR PLUG

                                          B\ A\ A B
                                          Blue Green Black Red

                                          If I am wrong then I have no clue which is probably more than likely.

                                            I think the way you have them wired is alright, just that the pairs are swapped such that the rotation direction is reversed from how it's expected. Which is fine because it can be altered in software anyway with the drive direction command.

                                            If you had the motor pairs wired in an unmatched fashion it wouldn't spin and you'd get some warnings in the console. It can also potentially cause damage.

                                            The whole 1A 1B 2A 2B A A/ B B/ thing is pretty confusing, I agree.

                                            In your case though by the look of the motor spec PDF the colors of the wires look like they actually match the colors of the plugs on the duet wiring diagram, which isn't always the case.

                                            So on the motor the pair is denoted by the letters (A's together and B's together). And on the duet the pairs are denoted by the numbers (1's together, and 2's together).

                                            So in the PDF it says that black (A) and green (A/) are a coil pair, and red (B) and blue (B/) are a coil pair.

                                            And on the duet black (1B) and green (1A) are a pair, and red (2B) and blue (2A) are a pair.

                                            So
                                            black (A) to black (1B),
                                            green (A/) to green (1A),
                                            red (B) to red (2B),
                                            blue (B/) to blue (2A).

                                            I hope that makes sense.

                                            If you decide to swap them around to match the colors I think that would verify that the rotation direction changes.
