Auto bed leveling issue: Z-axis not raise between probes

Hello,

I m fighting with that issues for already quite a while.

When I do the auto bed leveling the Z axis is not raising between the probes. I have read quite some forums but could not find something that works in my case (but saw that I m not the only person who suffers).

I have a Prusa i3, RAMPS 1.4, Marlin from 01.12.2015

Thanks for help...

//If you have enabled the Bed Auto Leveling and are using the same Z Probe for Z Homing,

// When defined, it will:
// - Allow Z homing only after X and Y homing AND stepper drivers still enabled.
// - If stepper drivers timeout, it will need X and Y homing again before Z homing.
// - Position the Z probe in a defined XY point before Z Homing when homing all axis (G28).
// - Block Z homing only when the Z probe is outside bed area.

// Support for a dedicated Z probe endstop separate from the Z min endstop.
// If you would like to use both a Z probe and a Z min endstop together,
// uncomment #define Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP and read the instructions below.
// If you still want to use the Z min endstop for homing, disable Z_SAFE_HOMING above.
// Example: To park the head outside the bed area when homing with G28.
//
// WARNING:
// The Z min endstop will need to set properly as it would without a Z probe
// to prevent head crashes and premature stopping during a print.
//
// To use a separate Z probe endstop, you must have a Z_MIN_PROBE_PIN
// defined in the pins_XXXXX.h file for your control board.
// If you are using a servo based Z probe, you will need to enable NUM_SERVOS,
// Z_ENDSTOP_SERVO_NR and SERVO_ENDSTOP_ANGLES in the R/C SERVO support below.
// RAMPS 1.3/1.4 boards may be able to use the 5V, Ground and the D32 pin
// in the Aux 4 section of the RAMPS board. Use 5V for powered sensors,
// otherwise connect to ground and D32 for normally closed configuration
// and 5V and D32 for normally open configurations.
// Normally closed configuration is advised and assumed.
// The D32 pin in Aux 4 on RAMPS maps to the Arduino D32 pin.
// Z_MIN_PROBE_PIN is setting the pin to use on the Arduino.
// Since the D32 pin on the RAMPS maps to D32 on Arduino, this works.
// D32 is currently selected in the RAMPS 1.3/1.4 pin file.
// All other boards will need changes to the respective pins_XXXXX.h file.

So just coming back with the solution:

const bool X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool X_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Y_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Z_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.

I had to set Z_Max and Z_Min to true then he did raise between the probes.
