Mirror image and homing on x axis

@Veti Been over the linked page but will revisit again to make sure, might have to get back to you if I can’t figure it out

@fcwilt Do you mean M569 don’t think M596 is in the code?
Sorry - a typo - yes M569.
So you tried M569 P0 S0?

@fcwilt Yes, it created a diagonal movement to the right front

My bad - I missed that you have a CoreXY machine.
In that case it gets a bit tricky.
On my Mark Forged style printer I had to use M669 (instead of M667) with the appropriate parameters to get the motors to move correctly.
The documentation for M669 discusses how to set the parameters but in my case I determined them by trial and error.

If the head moves diagonally in the +X and +Y directions, all is well. If it moves in the -X and -Y directions, change the S parameter to S1 in the M569 P0 command. If it moves towards +X and -Y, or towards -X and +Y, then either turn the power off and swap the X and Y motor connections, or use M584 in config.g to swap the X and Y motor drivers over.

@Veti The head moved diagonal to right front corner X=0 Y=0 with P0 S0
P0 S1 is the line I’m running which gives the mirror -
have you swapped the motor connections?

That would work as well or determine the correcting settings for M669 and use it in place of M667.

Problem Solved
Switched motor plugs around on X and Y
Reversed motor direction
Changed end stop to X1
Home X axis changed from G1 H1 X255 to G1 H1 X-255
Go back a few mm changed from X-5 to X5
Reset probe point and mesh bed configuration
All is well
Big thanks to Veti, fcwilt and Phaedrux (moderator) for the advice pointing me in the right direction. Great Forum -
@ortondale Very glad to see you got it sorted - good work.
