#Issues with initial setup of motor direction with voron 2.4 BTT Octopus.

I'm a bit confused by this issue, but here it is:

When I test each stepper motor, they all behave correctly.
For example 'stepper_buzz stepper=stepper_z' moves front left corner (up first and then down) 10 times as expected.
I get the exact same behavior for _z1, _z2, _z3. All move (up first and then down) 10 times.

When I try to home the z axis 'g28 z' The two front motors (z, z3) move up and (z1,z2) move down for about 2 seconds. This binds the gantry and makes a horrible grinding noise.
It will then stop and wait a few seconds then all motors will turn the same direction and the gantry will go down and hit the endstop. The gantry is not level at all, front is higher up and back is closer to the build plate.

Any suggestions?

Here is my current config file. This is my first time trying to config any 3d printer, so please check to see if I missed any of the obvious stuff as well.

I'll verify whether the motors are going the wrong direction of if they just arn't moving and report back shortly.

#

As to the motors turning question. I took the belts off of the motors and they are behaving strangely. They turn about 1/4 turn in the correct direction then they just vibrate for a second or so making a bunch of noise.

Why are all of the tmc2209 stepper_* sections commented out? You need those.

I'll add them back in. I thought they were an either/or to the stepper_* without (tmc2209)
