Need help: Motors go correct direction. HOME is reversed?

Hello!

Kossel running Ramps 1.4. Marlin (for delta) In Repetier Host. My motors will move up and down via the up and down arrows under MANUAL. But if I press HOME for any of the 3 the carriages go down not up? I have mechanical switched at the top of my columns. The switch are working from previous tests.

How can I correct the Homing Direction?

Thanks

Maxi

Try to check this in Configuration.h:

// ENDSTOP SETTINGS:
// Sets direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
#define X_HOME_DIR 1
#define Y_HOME_DIR 1
#define Z_HOME_DIR 1

So, is Max the top and min the bottom? That wasn't clear. And in printer prefs in Repetier, I did change from MIN, MAX, and 0. But HOMING did not change. Will try again.

Thanks, That worked. Had to move my endstop pins over. Now homing works.

What next should I test or configure?

Don't have my end effector attached yet. That's next.
