Command meanings: (Semi colons separate command sets)
G38.2 Z25 F100
G38.2 is a probe command which means, seek until the probe circuit is closed (Arduino ground to
pin A5). Z25 means drop the Z axis down a maximum of 25mm (metric in this case). Of course, this
travel should be interrupted by probe contacting the plate surface. F100 is the probe travel speed.
You may want to slow yours down, but 100 works fine.
G91 G0 Z3
G91 G0 Is a rapid move, the Z axis 3mm up or positive direction.
G91 G0 X50
Then rapid move 50mm left, or negative X direction.
G91 G0 Z8.2
And drop Z down 8.2mm in preparation for X probing.
G38.2 X25 F100
Now probe for X side of the calibration plate.
G91 G0 X3
Pull bit away from the cal plate 3mm.
G91 G0 Z8.2
Raise bit up 8.2mm before moving to the front of the plate

G91 G0 Y50
Move toward front of the plate 50mm.
G91 G0 X50
Move right, in the X positive direction, 50mm.
G91 G0 Z8.2
Drop the bit back down 8.2mm in preparation for Y probing.
G38.2 Y25 F100
Probe Y axis.
G91 G0 Y3
Pull forward off work, 3mm
G91 G0 Z8.2
Raise bit 8.2mm.
G10 P0 L20 X? Y? Z?
Store probe offset's in coordinates system
