Problem with Z movement and homing

Hello everyone,

I have a cartesian printer with one stepper motor nema 17 in for each axis.
Both X and Y axis are working normally, but the Z axis is moving too slow.

I tried to change the resolution even though my calculated resolution is 400 steps/mm, and nothing changed.
I also tried changing other parameters as the speed and acceleration, but it always remains with the same problem.
When I turned the printer on and tried to move my Z axis, I saw that it was moving 1/5 of what it was showing on the display and it was very slow.

Also, when I tried to do the Z-homing, it should have gone from 0 to the maximum end-stop, but it didn't. It goes around 50mm and it inverts the direction to go another way without touching the end-stop.

I'm using the repetier-firmware configuration tool to make my firmwares, so I'm not a pro-programer and sadly I don't know how to change the parameters manually.

Someone have an idea of what do I have to do?
Thanks!

    If you have a RAMPS board make sure the jumpers are installed under the driver boards. That might help.

    Also note that after first upload many things like resolution and acceleration need to be change din eeprom. Use Repetier host/server which have an editor for this. Or use
    M502
    M500
    to copy changes in configuration.h to eeprom overwriting old values. Only uploading will not change this.

    Thanks, that solved my problem. I had never changed my din eeprom since the first program sent.
