X axis - Correct direction

I'm wondering if my X axis is working correctly. When moving out on the X axis from the Z axis profile toward the end of X axis, X counts down. I do run CNC machines on a regular basis, and this seems wrong.

This also causes problems homing the X. I can park the X just over the notch, and it homes directly. Moving out a bit and pressing home again, the carrige moves to the outer end of the axis and stalls the stepper.

Z axis seems to be working, so the sensor should be OK.

Hi eiaro,

did you check the wiring? The x-motor-connector is the only one which is reversed in the connection compared to the other motors.

I just wired it like the others, so thats probably the solution. I will test tonight and confirm.

UPDATE:
Turning the connector solved that problem
