Home travelling in wrong direction regardless of Z_HOME_DIR

Stiofan

I have rebuilt a modified kit printer, a delta with 200mm heated bed and chimera extruder (2 in, 2 out).  I am currently working on the initial FW setup and have encountered a problem.

The 3 max endstops and z-probe (z-min, a piezo sensor fitted over extruder 0) are triggering correctly when manually activated with M119.
Manually moving x, y and z directions are moving as expected (pre-tuning), but when I send a HOME command the head moved towards the bed instead of the top of the towers.
I have tried to change the direction using Z_HOME_DIR set to both 1 & -1 (the initial value was 1) making sure to toggle the EEPROM_SET from 1 to 2 and back. There has been no change in the direction that the head travels when HOME'd though.

I had the printer working well when it was set up before I added the extra extruder, but I'm not even at the point of testing the extruder motors yet. Any help would be appreciated at this point.

These are the sections from Configuration.h which I believe are relevant, if any others would be of use I can upload them:

Z_HOME_DIR 1 
is the correct solution.

Does M119 show 3 max end stops?

Sure manual moves move z correctly? Often this is a user error assuming host arrow means something different. When above homes to z min set

#define INVERT_X_DIR 0

#define INVERT_Y_DIR 0

#define INVERT_Z_DIR 0

to 1 instead, then it will move to top. Then test again if moving down moves down ro what
M114
returns after homing. When it returns z max value the setting is now correct.

Thanks for your speedy response.

You were correct, I had the host printer setting inverting the z control display, so I was misreading as a false positive.

I followed your advice and inverted the x, y & z directions and then HOME went to the correct location and read the endstops correctly.

I really like how the firmware is very fast to compile and flash. Much faster than Marlin, on my system.

Thanks again
