Topic: Z axis not homing?

Hi just got done building a new M Prime one printer and setting up all of the endstops and all.
All is good but the Z axis will do nothing If I hit the z home button in repetier?  the Z will move using the up and down arrows in repetier. It is probably something simple

Re: Z axis not homing?

If the other axes home properly, double-check the endstop switch wiring...

ramps 1.4 with marlin.  I see that the Z axis will not go below 0 in repetier.  Not sure why that is?

Re: Z axis not homing?

In RH Config/Printer Settings/Printer Shape Tab; is Home Z set to Min?  As well as your print area Height at (whatever your machine is supposed to be)?

Re: Z axis not homing?

Just out of curiosity, what happens when you hit the "Home All Axes" button?

Re: Z axis not homing?

Wow...so maybe it's a problem with RH?  Beyond that I'm stumped!
