Marlinfw Homing Direction

Symptoms​

CNC machine homes in the wrong direction.

Relevant​

Marlin 3D Printer Firmware running on Arduino Mega with RAMPS 1.4 shield.

Procedure​

The direction of travel when homing is configured in the configuration.h using the settings X_HOME_DIR, Y_HOME_DIR and Z_HOME_DIR in the section ENDSTOP SETTINGS. A value of -1 will set the homing direction towards the min end stop. A value of 1 will set the homing direction to the max end stop.

In the example below the homing direction for the z axis will be changed to home towards the max end stop.
