    So I just got to the point of Calibrating Z Offset, and when I do auto home, this happens: Failed Auto Home

    Can someone tell me what is wrong? It's also giving me the error "Too far"

    Your IR led is saying it's triggered at all times. Probably plugged in backwards

    Easy way to tell for anyone else having this problem is if the red LED on the front of the IR Sensor is lit all the time when head is not close to the bed then IR sensor cable is reversed.

    .............also:
    "About four seconds after power is applied, the LED on the sensor board should flash twice. This indicates that the sensor has started up in digital output mode. If it flashes four times, check that the output is connected to a suitable input on your printer electronics"
