Upon inspection, I noticed that the threaded rod was not ...

Re: Auto-home is going in reverse
You are talking about the connector on the sanguinololu board? The connector has a plasic bit underneath it that only allows you the plug it in one direction

Re: Auto-home is going in reverse
How? It's not like I can plug them in backwards? The connector only fits in 1 direction
