You configure a probe just like almost everything else in emc: add the right lines to a .hal file. In this case, you will be writing a line to connect a signal to the pin "motion.probe-input". For example, if the probe input is on parport pin 26*, you could write net probe parport.0.pin-26-in motion.probe-input
motion.probe-input must be TRUE for probe contact closed (touching), FALSE for probe contact open. So if your probe has a LOW voltage when touching and a HIGH voltage when not touching, you'll have to use the inverted signal instead: net probe parport.0.pin-26-in-invert motion.probe-input Each location found by a G38.2 probing move can be written to a file named in the special (PROBEOPEN) comment.
