        <title>servo movement</title>
        <description> So, after much fighting,  I&#039;ve got my z - probe moving,  the problem is that when it give the command for up (M401) the probe goes down and vice versa.   Similar story happens when I enter G28 and G29,  when it goes to probe the z axis it lifts the probe instead of lowering it.

Is there a place in the firmware to invert the direction?  If not, what other options do I have?</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ You need to set the angle for the servo arm for the probe. You'll use M280 P0 Sx (where x is the angle for the arm.) to figure out the numbers for extension and retraction angles. <br />
<br />
For example with my servo M280 P0 S10 moved the arm to the correct position for retraction, and M280 P0 S88 was correct for extension.<br />
<br />
Then you need to edit this line in the Marlin Configuration.h file.<br />
<br />
//smartrap : version pololu servo (dark blue)<br />
<br />
#define SERVO_ENDSTOP_ANGLES {0,0, 0,0, 88,10) // X,Y,Z Axis Extend and Retract angles<br />
<br />
Hope that helps]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Nope, its a normal servo<br />
<br />
[<a href="http://www.pololu.com/product/1053" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.pololu.com</a>]  Thats the exact one that I have<br />
<br />
What values are you using for your servo locations? I think I have found that parameter in the firmware, maybe if I put in different values that would fix the problem?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Oh, never mind. You are talking about the servo arm. Did you buy a reverse servo? There is no way of reversing the servo that I know of, other than doing some re-wiring inside the servo or flip the arm to the other side.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ If the movement is opposite of what you tell it to (x1 and it moves in x-1) then just flip the motor connection. When homing the firmware tells the printer to raise up a little before coming down to probe]]></description>
