#Z axis retracting the wrong direction.

So this is a new build of a Switchwire. When I home all X and Y home perfect. When it goes to home Z the inductive probe senses the bed and stops. Once it goes to retract, it moves left along the X axis instead of UP on Z. and it errors with Endstop z still triggered after retract"

Any help would be appreciated, this is actually my last issue im having before I can calibrate to print.

Double check that as it sounds like your XZ motors are the wrong way around. I would suggest, if using klipper, doing a STEPPER_BUZZ to check everything is running in the right direction

Yeah, Im pretty sure it has something to do with the direction. I cant figure it out though. all I should have to change is the "dir_pin" in config right?

Technically yes. However, you can enable Force move in klipper and jog x & Z 10mm or so and see which way it's going then refer to the image above to see what needs changing.

so I can only get one stepper to buzz at a time no matter what I do. And when do get one of the steppers moving in my config, it always moves across the X axis + or - in force move. never up or down on the Z axis

#

Right now I can only get the Z stepper to buzz and when I force move it moves + or - on the x axis

It's not "steppers_buzz"

#

The point with stepper_buzz isn't to look how the toolhead is behaving, it's to verify the behavior of each motor

@inland field @raw venture I got it! I was missing a exclamation point before the x stepper enable pin. Then I got them to both finally buzz, then i was able to diagnose them from there. I was conflating the buzz and force move move movements.
