Hi all i changed the direction from false to true but it still goes away from endstop .What am i doing wrong is there a step by step guide to doing this correctly eg how to actually apply the changes in arduino or is there a g code to change it on repetier host.Being a newbie i have heard about simplify 3d software is this easier to operate for a beginner than repetier or if someone can suggest a program suitable for first time beginners. Built the printer myself from kit but long way off trying to print anything. Thanks Andy

Hi,
I guess you actually didn't upload the modified firmware to the motherboard successfully.Have you read this post before?

Hi,
I guess you didn't open the firmware successfully in Arduino,you can follow my steps:
1.Download the firmware for your printer from here:
http://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic ... 20&t=17046
2.Open the firmware,then "Ctrl+A" to select all the files:

3.Drag all the file to Arduino,then you'll see configuration.h:

4.Now you can modify the wrong direction by referring this:

5.Finally,upload the firmware you've modified:
