I have been having this issue for quite some time now. Please Help!
When the y-axis is homed, I am not able to move in any other direction other than towards the endstop. I have tried changing the home direction in the firmware and have tried multiple different kinds of user interfaces. I have ran out of options that I can think of.
Thanks for the help

Are you using firmware downloaded from the gCreate website?

What changes have you tried in the firmware?

When you printer is in the home position the screen should say:
x 0 y410 z000.00

found in configuration.h
Code: 
// ENDSTOP SETTINGS:
// Sets direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR 1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1
If you have not seen this video, watch it. 6:20 he goes over end stop settings.

I am also curious if you fixed your problem with the information I gave you. I tried to replicate your problem with:

Code: 
// ENDSTOP SETTINGS:
// Sets direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1
When I uploaded this and homed the x and y axes the y axis did absolutely nothing.

The problem wasn't actually in the firmware. I use repetier to control the printer. I had the endstops configured to min on the y axis. The printer works perfectly now.
Thanks for the feedback.
