Y endstop resetting mid stroke

Hi, noobie here and just thought I would add my little experiences of building a Prusa i3 and the issues I had,

the first one was that the Y endstop would just reset itself mid stroke several times, so I would end up with a print that would work its way of the end of the bed.

SOLUTION!   The endstop wires were under the y axis stepper motor and was obliviously generating enough of a magnetic field to send a signal to the RAMPS!    simply move the wires away from the motor, it took me two hours to figure this out.

Ps If your heater bed wont heat up, make sure you check the heater bed support box in the firmware generator, I missed it and again three hours of mucking around to find out what i did wrong.
