    Heh, the steppers are wired so that reversing them is easy. Other styles of steppers are not so simple.

    Ok I have it wired up but y shows constant home and one z motor doesn't move. I think the z motor not moving is fixed(I had it on the wrong spot) y home has me puzzled but I'm guessing I have flipped the wires or it's not correctly hooked up. Should be pretty easy to figure out since its 2 wires. Extruded heats and bed heats. So 98 problems done 2 to go lol

    Yea, the Y home should be trivial. Switch it with the X home and see if the switch/wire works.

    Ok switched z and y on the ramps, now y works perfect (before would show y home and wouldn't move forward towards the robo lettering) now z will rise but won't fall
