Hey Swets,
   I think this is what you want.

Response = MsgBox ( "Would you like to set your Z height automatically? If so, click OK", 1 ) 'these two lines are for safety
If Response = 1 Then
   'Get the tool change pos from the settings page
   ChangeX = GetOEMDRO(1200)
   ChangeY = GetOEMDRO(1201)
   ChangeZ = GetOEMDRO(1202)
   Code "G00 G54 Z2" 'This line moves the Z to +2 in work coord to clear your part.
   Code "G00 G53 X" & ChangeX & "Y" & ChangeY 'This moves your X and Y to the TCP DROs on the settings page in Machine coord.
   Code "G00 G53 Z" & ChangeZ 'This moves your Z to the TCP DROs on the settings page in machine coord
   Response = MsgBox ( "Give your machine time to get to the tool change position. Once there, change your tool and click OK to proceed. The next move will be your Z looking for your plate.", 1 )
   If Response = 1 Then
      CurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current feedrate.
       PlateThickness =0.062 'You can adjust this number for your plate thickness
       ProbeFeed = 5 'Rate the tool will drive to the touch plate


       Code "G90 F" &ProbeFeed

       If GetOemLed (825)=0 Then
          'Code "G4 P5" 'Time to get to the z-plate
          Code "G31Z-5 F" &ProbeFeed
          While IsMoving()
          Wend
          Code "G4 P0.25"
          ZProbePos = GetVar(2002)
          Code "G0 Z" &ZProbePos
          While IsMoving()
          Wend
          Call SetDro (2, PlateThickness)
          Code "G4 P0.5" 'Pause for Dro to update.
          Code "G0 Z0.25" 'Change the Z retract height here
          Code "(Z axis is now zeroed)"
          Code "F" &CurrentFeed
       Else
          Code "(Z-Plate is grounded, check connection and try again)"
       End If
   End If   
End If


Play with it a little before you try to use it. Try it in the air and make sure the moves are right.

Good, thanks. Did you have to change your auto boot time to 0 to load it the second time as I said in the other post? Just feeling around and looking for info. to help in writing the manual.  :)

Thanks,
Brett

Hey Swets, that can be done pretty easy. In your general config, ports and pins,inputs, you have an input for probe. Instead of wiring your tool, you will insulat your board so it is not grounded through the machine, the tool will be the ground that completes the circuit. On the settings page, far left, 3 DROs for your tool change positions. I have some code that has been copied and pasted together (I'm no VB guru like a lot of these guys) that you could place inside a button on your screen that will do what you want I think.

Good to hear Swainsk.  :) Did you look at the manual? If so, was it helpful?

Did you set the auto boot time to 0 the second time you tried to load the firmware?

Once you get the error page, try to cycle power to the G100 and launch firmware loader without closing the firmware loader. You have to be quick.

Have a look at this thread. Read the thread, I think it pertains to you too. You can download what I have of the G-100 set-up guide so far. Do you know the IP of your G100? If you have set it up and can't remember what it is, it can be troublesom. Try this, kill the power to the G100, Open the grex loader, power on the g100 and start hitting the find gecko button, not just once, about every 2 seconds. If it hasn't found it in 10 seconds, start over. Power down,etc.

Where did you get the firmware and plug-in from?

I can help explain a little about Keygrabber if it will help, I'm not exactly sure what you want or need. I have sent you a personal message.
