I want to create a hot key that will trigger a button in Dashboard from Xpression. I have setup a group to trigger to take a sequence number and also set gpi output. In this case its GPI 25 as that is the trigger ID in the dashboard button. However when I do this nothing happens. Am I missing a step, or is this something that is not possible to do.

Have you set Dashboard to accept GPI? There's an option for that in the settings (including the port number, etc).

Yes, I have dashboard setup to listen. I currently trigger this same custom layout with my Carbonite.

I assume Dashboard is being triggered by RossTalk from the Carbonite, not a physical GPI?
You are trying to send a RossTalk GPI Out from XPression using a script right? Like this one:

dim rosstalk as xpGPIBoard

Engine.GetGPIBoard(0, rosstalk)

rosstalk.SendMessage("GPI 1")

'The "0" in the GetGPIBoard is the index of the GPI board in Hardware Setup > GPI Boards

'(Board #1 = Index 0, Board #2 = Index 1, etc..)[/SIZE][/FONT]

If you use that method make sure you have your Dashboard PC IP address in your RossTalk GPI board outgoing message settings.

I will try this. What I had setup was just a hot key group that would trigger a scene online and send a GPI trigger. Where would I include this script?
#XPression

How were you sending the GPI trigger?
The script I pasted above I would normally use as a script event in keyboard/gpi map. And then a hotkey would trigger it. But that script will work from pretty much anywhere. You could put it in OnOnline of a scene or a script event in a scene director.

I have this for a Penalty Flag grahpic. So when this is triggered it triggers the button in Dashboard that sends a UDP command to my LED Board. I added it to the scene director and got it to work with "GPI 1", however I have GPI 1 tied up with a different animation. I had originally wanted to use 25. When I replace the 1 with 25 it no longer would work.

You'd have to show me what the Penalty flag trigger looks like. Is it a similar script as the one I posted?
#XPression

Yes. I used that exact script in a scene director event.

jbins and I resolved this by changing the RossTalk port number that Dashboard & XPression were using to 7789 instead of the default 7788.
