There is a list of resources here [reprap.org]. Here is a summary of what you need to do:
1. Download a binary of my firmware fork (the only one that currently supports CoreXY) from [github.com]. Follow the link to the latest version, then click on the Raw button to download it.
2. See the RepRapPro commissioning guide at [reprappro.com] for how to flash the firmware and copy the SD card files across. I suggest you start from the SD card files used for Ormerod 2. You will need to make a couple of changes for CoreXY:
(a) Add the M667 S1 command in config.g to select CoreXY mode. See [github.com]. I suggest you read the whole of that document, apart fro the section on delta printers.
(b) Change the homeall.g file so as not to attempt simultaneous X and Y homing.
I'll add a /sys-CoreXY folder to my repo to make this simpler in future.
3. Then follow the RepRapPro commissioning guide for general testing and commissioning.
4. The web interface I recommend is DuetWebControl, available at [github.com].
btw on a CoreXY machine, you can test the X and Y motors individually by sending G91 to select relative position, then G1 commands with the S2 parameter will move the motors individually, e.g. G1 X-10 S2 will move just the X motor back 10mm.
Once you have up-to-date firmware, you can also update SD card files via FTP.

PS you should also change the M574 command to define where your endstops are, and the M558 command to say which axes (if any) the proximity sensor is used to home - default is X and Z.

I have added folder [github.com] to my repo.

I have a little mis- understanding... does the Ormerud IR sensor do BOTH Z and X sensing??????
I thought it only did Z sensing/bed level checking..... so I have a mechanical micro-switch set up for X end stop now. It would be simpler for me to set u the X sensing with the IR sensor if that works well...
What do you suggest?

OK,
I got the printer running! I used pronterface for initial connection, and ALL axis moved in the correct directions. I was about to set up the end stops, when I accidentally hit the power button on my laptop and shut it off.
When I turned it back on, I can no longer connect to the 3D printer. In Device Manager, there is no longer any COM & LPT section, and nothing I do seems to get it back..... When I run Pronterface it just says:
Connecting...
could not open port COM3: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified.
I have tried restarting the laptop, unplugging and replugging the 3D printer, changing USB ports and Cables. Nothing works.
Any Idea what is wrong????

Next issue is with homing/ axis length. Depending on where I turn the machine on and start homing from, different things happen... build area shrinks to different corners and can run into different ends of motion. essentially, depending on home order and start position, Head position zero ends of being in different places. I am going to make a chart for starting homing in four corners, with both X and Y homing orders for each corner and then I will measure where zero x,y is so you can see. this will take some time.
