Probing with the effector in the printing area, but an eccentric probe (e.g. allen key) outside it but still touching the bed gives meaninfull information for calibration. Since calibration is most accurate when probing as close to the towers as possible the testing was way to restrictive hence this fix.
- rename to PROBING_HEATERS_OFF
- move heater pausing functionality into thermalManager
- add variables, pause(), ispaused(), other functions
- add fan pausing functionality -> PROBING_FANS_OFF
- add probing_pause() wrapper
- move pausing into do_homing_move() and do_probe_move() to minimize quiet time and so other probe types can benefit
- example configs
This is what I did yesterday:
- basicly gave the tests more comprehensive names; put all the
declarations at the top; got rid of the magic negative C-value (renamed
to P + A, O, T)
- "cos(RADIANS(180 + 30 * axis)) * (1 + circles * 0.1 * ((zig_zag) ? 1 :
-1)) * delta_calibration_radius" compiles wrong is zig_zag statement is
without brackets
- DELTA_TOWER_ANGLE_TRIM reset to 3 values (the calcs use the 3th value
to normalize will not compile otherwise)
-Wrote 3 dummies to keep EEPROM lenght the same
-Reset the configs to the 'original' with autocal + menu disabled (but
can be enabled of course)
The Configuration.h file entries for BL-Touch have been updated to:
```cpp
//#define BLTOUCH
//#define BLTOUCH_DELAY 375 // (ms) Enable and increase if needed
//#define BLTOUCH_HEATERS_OFF // if defined the printer's heaters are
turned off during probe event
```
- Making M665 compatible with repetier (see
http://reprap.org/wiki/G_code#M665:_Set_delta_configuration)
- M665 B also sets the radius for manual calibration menu
- Converting tower ajustment definitions to arrays - tower angle
corrections compatible with Esher 3D wizzard
- Only tower angles need to be adjustable with M665 and stored to EEPROM
- tower radius and diag rod can be adjusted in the FW only with #define
Firmware was forgetting the z_fade_height in Planner, set by M420 Z<f>,
after each reset or loading settings from EEPROM. Added the float
z_fade_height to EEPROM-Storage, now remembers the value.
==============================================
clarified BLTouch calculation & changed comment delimitters/flags
I found it hard to pickout the various sections in this area so I
changed most comments from // style to /** ... */
Made the BLTouch calculation simpler and clarified the units of measure
for the result.
============================================
add changes to example configurations
============================================
add TinyBoy2 to this PR & add BLTouch Delay
The OLED is driven by an SSD1306, connected to the board via
I2C, the rotary encoder is connected to 3 GPIO pins.

- Add configuration support for zigzags in either the X or Y axis, for
wipe pads significantly longer in one dimension.
- Add configuration for default number of zig-zag triangles, vs. a
magic number in `Marlin_main.cpp`.
- Update description of auto nozzle wiping to match functionality
If ENDSTOP_INTERRUPTS_FEATURE is enabled this tries to set up interrupt routines
for all used endstop pins. If this worked without errors, `endstops.update()` is called
only if one of the endstops changed its state.
The new interrupt routines do not really check the endstops and react upon them. All what they
do, is to set a flag if it makes sense to call the endstop test we are used to.
This can be used on:
* ARM (DUE) based boards - all pins can raise interrupts,
* RAMPS - all 6 endstop pins plus some other on EXT-2 can raise interrupts,
* RAMPS based boards - as long the designers did not change the pins for the endstops or at least left enough,
* all boards, if there are enough pins that can raise interrupts, and you are willing/able to swap with pins dedicated to other purpose.

Why double touch probing is not a good thing.
It's widely believed we can get better __probing__ results when using a double touch when probing.
Let's compare to double touch __homing__.
Or better let's begin with single touch __homing__.
We home to find out out position, so our position is unknown.
To find the endstop we have to move into the direction of the endstop.
The maximum way we have to move is a bit longer than the axis length.
When we arrive at the endstop - when it triggers, the stepper pulses are stopped immediately.
It's a sudden stop. No smooth deacceleration is possible.
Depending on the speed and the moving mass we lose steps here.
Only if we approached slow enough (below jerk speed?) we will not lose steps.
Moving a complete axis length, that slow, takes for ever.
To speed up homing, we now make the first approach faster, get a guess about our position,
back up a bit and make a second slower approach to get a exact result without losing steps.
What we do in double touch probing is the same. But the difference here is:
a. we already know where we are
b. if the first approach is to fast we will lose steps here to.
But this time there is no second approach to set the position to 0. We are measuring only.
The lost steps are permanent until we home the next time.
So if you experienced permanently rising values in M48 you now know why. (Too fast, suddenly stopped, first approach)
What can we do to improve probing?
We can use the information about our current position.
We can make a really fast, but deaccelerated, move to a place we know it is a bit before the trigger point.
And then move the rest of the way really slow.
