Please explain what is going wrong. Here are some wiki references that you may find helpful:

@dc42 Thanks David! I had overlooked setting the max potential homing distance when I built my new delta (largely based on your Kossel), and couldn't figure out why it would sometimes take 2 attempts to home.

I had used the RR configurator, and so I believe it chose the G1 values in homedelta.g, just plugging in my max Z (~460mm). In reality, the max distance any carriage may have to travel was closer to 580mm, when an arm is stretched way out to near the edge of the bed.

@dc42 Hello David.

When I take test for motors through macros, they work fine. But when I try to home all the axes for my Delta printer, they just move 5 mm up and stop. I am hereby attaching video for home movement. The upward movement in the video is not that visible.

Furthermore, when I try to move X , Y and Z axes through steps, X and Y move really well as in upward for positive steps and downwards for negative steps (1, 10 mm etc.). But that is not the case with Z axis. For positive steps Z moves downwards and for negative it goes upwards. I tried to change the polarity for Z-axis (through software and hardware), but there is not any success.

Kindly guide me to resolve the issue.

@yd14, to change the direction of the Z motor, find the M569 P2 command in config.g and change S0 to S1 or vice versa.

The other problem is likely to be caused by incorrect endstop switch configuration. Test the endstop switches as described at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Test_endstop_switches.
