Mirrored text fix, I missed something?

Hello, I recently rebuilt my printer, it was a GeeeTech ME Creator (original version)
I basically tore it apart and started over, Bowden J-Head, Ramps 1.4 with TMC2100 lead screw etc etc etc
Got rid of all the stuff that should not have been used in the first place....

Ok, so I just got it all assembled two days ago, started from scratch with Marlin 1.1.5
Programed everything and got it printing nicely. VERY NICE PRINT!! So I was happy.....

Text was mirrored... Ok onto that fix

so I did the following:

Change INVERT_Y_DIR false to true
and
Change Y_HOME_DIR -1 to 1
and
disable #define USE_YMIN_PLUG
and
enable #define USE_YMAX_PLUG

Thats it, nothing else. I feel sure I got that right.....

Now my Y-axis only blips a few mm when I try to home it......

what did I miss?

Thanx

Let see If this will help

Did you do a M502 and a M500 to save the new Configuration

Or

In Marlin 1.1.5
Click menu
Click Control
Click Initialize EEProm

This clears settings out and loads the new settings

I was not doing the changes as temp via mcodes and then saving to eeprom.

I was changing the arduino sketch in Configuration.h and uploading it each time.

I have been thinking about it all day and I came up with a theory.

Perhaps the end stop logic has reversed as a result of the axis or endstop values changing.

I can test this by holding the end stop down with my finger and seeing if it tries to home Y then. IF so when I release it the system should see it as Y=Home.

Then I should be able to fix by reversing this line:

#define Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.

I did not have to do this with 1.1.4 with the Sanguinolulo board tho.... I had the mirrored text with it as I was upgrading from Marlin 1.1.0 to a.1.1.4 a few months back.

Something may be amiss, if this proves to be true I will report it to marlin as a potential bug.

Killing old settings is annoying, but normally when updating firmware users are aware that their old settings may not roll over, and they should Initialize EEProm.
This is one reason that they Placed the Initialize EEProm on the menu.

I have not once set anything in the eeprom, its blank.
I have not yet enabled the eeprom even.

M500
M501
M502

will not do a thing. Its just not enabled.

quite

and
disable #define USE_YMIN_PLUG
and
enable #define USE_YMAX_PLUG

only thing left to do is move the endstops from the YMIN_PLUG to the YMAX_PLUG

Then test the endstop stop still works with the M119 command.

This appears to be what I missed.

To verify- Your saying the end stop switch that was Y-Min and is now Y-Max has to be physically plugged into a different set of pins on the Ramps 1.4?

Ya I think you are right



so simple....

Thanx much!!!!
