X-Axis is homing the wrong direction
-
Hi all... First, I'm loving this new Duet board and how easy it is to update config... never going back to marlin!
Pre-requisites:
- Ender 5 Plus with OEM mechanical switches (Cartesian geometry)
- Y-Switch is on the back right side of my printer
- X-Switch is on the right side of the printer
- RepRap 3.2.3 (Latest Stable)
- DWC is 3.2.2
My problem is that while my Y-axis homes correctly, my X-Axis homes incorrectly and goes to the opposite side of my printer.

And here's the output of M208
Axis limits X0.0:350.0, Y0.0:350.0, Z0.0:400.0
I did try to invert my Y with adding the
M574 Y1 S1 P"!ystop"
in the config file, and while it moves the motor in the correct position, it moves about 1-5mm and then stops and says it's at 0.Still reading through other posts, but wanted to add my notes here just in case someone spots a misconfiguration somewhere.
Thanks!

@infidelprops So as I've been investigating this.. When I manully trigger the Y-stop, the LED goes completely off.
But when I manually trigger the X-stop, the LED is still light lit up...
When I move the X by 10mm, the Dashboard says it's at 10, but the
M119
command is telling me the x is at min stopEndstops - X: at min stop, Y: not stopped, Z: at min stop, Z probe: at min stop
Another weird issue...
With the x-stop is not depressed, M119 reportsX: at min stop
even though X is at Position 10But when I press the mechanical switch, it says
X: not stopped

Looks like a lose connector in my pin was the culprit... the light being left on was a good indicator.
When I tried to pull the connector out, the wire came free so I put on a new molex connector on and plugged back in... all working as expected now
