the only things i can think of that would make the X& Y at the same time are if you hit the home all button or you have them plugged into the wrong sockets on the ramps board

if they dont stop at end stops it can mean your end stops arent wired correctly or not configured correctly in your firmware.

With power off manually position the x Y and Z axis so no end stops are touched. Then power on and send the M119 to your controller it will repsond with text saying what state your endstops are in
Should read open when nothing is touching and triggered when you hold the switch

USe the search function ....these issues have been addressed many times

Good luck

Thanks for your answer. The problem is that sometimes the x axis moves how i want and sometimes moves with the y axis, oh and the z axis dosn t move when i use manual command. I already tryed m119 but dosn t work. How can i configure my end stop ?
However i use a sanguinololu.
Thanks.

If you firmware is marlin, then post the configuration.h file so we can see the settings.

Hi,
it seems, your ATmegaboard came with the firmware already flashed? If you never flashed the board yourselve, you donĀ“t know how your config.h is set.

This would be my first step to get to know my printer better. Or ask the guy who sold you the printer, which settings he made in config.h

Good luck

Hi thanks for your answer, i use a sanguinololu rev 1.3a, it is possibile refresh this board?

I don`t know the board, but in general it should be possible to flash it with a new firmware.

You have to install Arduino-IDE
download the newest Marlin-Software
go through the hole config.h Settings
and Flash it

Good luck

hi this is the configuration.h file, maybe the problem is here?

Is this the config.h you uploaded to your board?

Few tips here although I also new but I already made some mistake before and would like to share for precaution

-Send m114 to check endstops state and test pressing the endstop with your hand to see if there are any changes
-C or common or 1 printed on the mechanical (not one with pcb) often goes to S (signal) on the board (correct me this one)
-Always put your axis in the middle of any travel or rods
-Every time you power on your printer the board will assume the location of those axis is 0
-Try to send g0 command for example g0 y10 to move y axis to 10mm position
-If by increasing the position using g0 command moves away from the endstops, motor direction is correct (if you set the endstop as min)
