Strange Homing Behavior with Smoothieware Board

in Repetier-Server
 
I am just setting up a Re-Arm board (smoothie compatible) on a new D-Bot. I'm having trouble with homing. The D-Bot homes Y to max, which is what seems to be giving me trouble. I've got Alpha, Beta, and Gamma endstops working correctly (checked with M119). X homes correctly (to min). Z homes correctly (to min). I can then move manually away from X and Z endstops with the manual controls in Repetier-server (or Host, connected thru server). Y homes to max fine, but then Repetier says printer Y axis is at position 0 (instead of 300, which is the defined max in smoothie config). If I try to move away from Y max endstop, the print head moves all the way to the actual Y 0 (all the way across the print bed, and I can't stop it), then I can move it normally in manual mode. 

Does homing to Max not work very well between Repetier and Smoothie?

    Server assumes homing coordinates you have set in printer settings. So set y home pos to 300 if that is where it is after homing.

    Ahh..that's what I was missing. That fixed it, thank you very much!
