on the solidoodle solitouch calibration video you see that the measurement switch needs to be manually pushed down. and then once the calibration is complete the bed moves up to push the switch back.  If you are not pushing the probe down then the bed will just bash into the extruder.

Please make sure the probe is all the way down before starting the print.
You can check the start code from the G-code Editor tab and open the drop down menu and select Start Code.

On a side note you might want to add a custom start code.  Let's discuss that later.

there is nothing loading into my start code

If you look at the X and Y endstops, you will see what I mean. I had to do this on mine and spent a few days before I realized what was going on. So the question becomes, is there something that needs to be adjusted on that switch? I don't know how it works, though, but I'd guess it's a related problem from sitting in the homed position for an extended period.
