Hello,
I have a relay on my probe input. The relay is driven using M64 P0/M65 P0 to enable/disable the probe.
With Axis/ProbeScreen I modified the plugin sources to enable the probe before the G38.2 line and disable just after.
With Axis/PsNg the modification was simpler due to the file hierarchy so I had to patch only one file.
I looked at the remap function but G38.2 is not part of the "Existing codes which can be remapped" list.
For QtDragon, what would you recommend ?

Well that is going to be more difficult. Why do you need to have the relay?
You could have a couple of macro buttons that turn the relay on and off and do that before pressing the probe routine button. That would be pretty easy.
To do exactly what you did before would require you to modify the probe_routines.py file in quite a few places.

I have something that look like the above pict.
Instead of putting the croco clip on and off, I activate/desactivate the relay.
I'm also picking up some noise on the long black wire when the spindle is running. So breaking the line close to my G540 allows me not to unplug the whole wire.
May be I can acheive the same result with a software solution using and2 but I didn't dive in yet

Also want to use the tool length auto measure function
Do you known I should look to see how the remap allowed GCode are handled and may try to add G38.2 to the list.

Pretty sure remapping g38 is going to require source code changes.
auto tool probe is pretty easy - one ngc (qt_auto_probe_tool.ngc) file needs to be changed.
Another option is a component that watches the pin motion.motion-type
and when it's 5 close the relay. probably want a 2 second delay on opening too.
