Description

Hi.

I have been strugeling getting my ender 5 pro working again.
But the firmware om the creality site has this wierd thing causing the extruder to run in the wrong direction.
So I have been seaching for a better .bin file to flash.
SInce I am a noob I avoided this github place coz I asumed I had to compile myself which should be easy using arduino ide but after stumbling arrround a bit it turned out arduino and 4.2.2 boards is a no go. and the vscode disco party.
anyway I discovered there are also prebuild binaries here which is awesome! I managed to flash firmware-20250624-062343.zip about 5 months young but some how the extruder still runs backward.

So is this just a forgotten thing? How are othe people using this binaries? what am I missing? I got a lot of hits on google about reversed extruder so I think its a well known issue?

Its a nice firmware I like the option to disable soft end stops

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the extruder-direction behavior on the Ender 5 Pro with firmware-20250624-062343.zip, then inspect the available binary configuration information and discussion history; done means determining whether the binary is incorrect for this printer and documenting or correcting the appropriate firmware choice.
