stepper motors will only move in one direction? (Page 1 of 3)

The logic on your endstops are wrong. Just work on only one axis till it works then use those settings on the others.

So lets start with basics. Are your endstops optical or mechanical? Do you only have lower limit endstops as in home or do you have max limit as well. So is there only one per axis or two?

With all axis in the home position send an M119 command through a terminal window such as Pronterface and tell me the current endstop status it reports back.

pronterface says    echo:endstops hit:  X:0.01

When all axis are in home position, type M119 then click send in the small box bottom right then report back the endstop status there should be three to six positions reported. Not one.

I did not hit the home button though.  If I do the x axis will go all the way and try to keep going

Did you mean change this one? // Inverting axis direction
#define INVERT_X_DIR false
#define INVERT_Y_DIR true
#define INVERT_Z_DIR true

I changed the x above and m119 still shows the same

No, those invert the motor direction. I am referring to these lines.

//set to true to invert the logic of the endstops
#define ENDSTOP_X_MIN_INVERTING false
#define ENDSTOP_Y_MIN_INVERTING false
#define ENDSTOP_Z_MIN_INVERTING false
#define ENDSTOP_X_MAX_INVERTING false
#define ENDSTOP_Y_MAX_INVERTING false
#define ENDSTOP_Z_MAX_INVERTING false

The first three should be set to true. Ignore anything about endstop and MAX. You do not have MAX endstops.

Ok found that #define ALWAYS_CHECK_ENDSTOPS true  was set to false. 
Now x and y endstops work but  have not tried z yet do the the motor binding thing I can not figure out yet. 
But the x end stop is on the left side of my printer and does not stop if from going left but will stop the x movement going to the right?  ideas on how to change that?
Also any ideas on my z motor binding problem?  thanks for your help a bunch

Let me just confirm before we go further. With pronterface open if you click the home button for each axis, does it move to the back left corner?

pronterface x movements are working opposite of RH.  not sure why but I rather use RH in the long run

OK. but yes it goes the the far right.   not sure how to make the endstop settings correct
