X Axis Homing Problems [ SOLVED ]

Solved it myself, turns out one of the end stops had disconeccted

Hey,

So I set up my new smart rap that I built, it's running Ramps 1.4 with Marlin. I connected to it with pronterface to check that everything is working, and I'm running into a wierd issue.

I can move all the axis and they move in the directions I want perfectly. But if I try home it, the Z and Y axis home fine , but the X axis will just move about 1cm in the wrong direction from where it should be going then stop.

I have checked all my endstop settings in Marlin, and the Axis moves in the correct direction if I'm just jogging it, so this really has me stumped. If I press the end stop with my finger it works fine too.

If I restart pronterface, I can get it to move the X axis the correct way when homing a few cm, but then it just reverses and goes back to doing 1cm in the wrong direction.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Still commissioning the Prussia i3 and I have a problem with my end stops and can,t work out whats going on.

They did work properly and they seem to be working now in that the led lights up when the switch is pressed but the motors no longer stop.

However if I ask Pronterface to home all axes then that's what happens.

I was wondering if there was a GUI for Pronterface that allows you to see if the limit switched are working ?

Also if I ask the printer to print a small 50mm cube it runs off to the end of the Y axis and have had to replace one limit switch already.
