The reason the move 10 button was moving without stopping is because the firmware has a hardcoded value for the number of steps when move 10 is activated (The "100000" below). This number needs to be changed to match your stepper/microstepping/pitch. there is also no code in the firmware for moving other distances...

else if (String(sdataBuffer).substring(0,6) == "G1 Z10") // top limit
{
if (on_top_limit == false) // not already on top limit
{
HomingBuildPlateTop = true;
LiftStepper.setMaxSpeed(2000);
LiftStepper.setAcceleration(12000);
LiftStepper.move(100000); // move towards top limit
}
}
