Hi, so J5 is moving well but when I calibrate it I get about 15 degree of movement and then it stops and says its calibrated. For one its going the wrong direction (I assume I can fix this in the arduino sketch). The issue I am more interested in is why it would think it has met the endstop without even getting close. Anyone had this problem and have the fix? Seems like it should be something simple. Thanks. This video shows the odd behavior.

Resolved. Looks like I pinched the endstop a little too much with the set screws that secured it, leading to inconsistent behavior. Thanks Chris for calling that out as a potential issue in the manual. Replaced the endstop, reset arduino sketch motor directions and UI settings to default and now it works. All systems are go!
