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
```
==============================================
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

If dithering is enabled, the remainder of the soft_pwm_X duty value at
turnoff time is added to the next cycle. If e.g. the duty is set to 9 and
SCALE is set to 2, the PWM will be active for 8 counts for 3 cycles and
12 counts on each fourth cycle, i.e. the average is 9 cycles.
This compensates the resolution loss at higher scales and allows running
fans with SOFT_PWM with significantly reduced noise.

- 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.
Unify run_z_probe
Add double touch for DELTAs.
Introduce Z_PROBE_SPEED_FAST and Z_PROBE_SPEED_SLOW
defaulting to homing_feedrate_mm_m[Z_AXIS] and homing_feedrate_mm_m[Z_AXIS]/2
This is an update of MarlinDev PR #196.
G20/21: support for switching input units between millimeters and
inches.
M149: support for changing input temperature units.
In support of these changes, code_value() and code_value_short() are
replaced with an array of functions which handle converting to the
proper types and/or units.

Aim: Test probes in update_endstops only when activated
Changes:
Configurations
Add define for FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE to handle the situation where formerly ENDSTOPS_ONLY_FOR_HOMING had to be set, or lowering the nozzle below Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER could give an "endstop hit" message.
Add define for Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN to indicate a common situation, that we have a probe but it is connected to an endstop pin
Add some comments
Shift some entries to have related things together.
Conditionals.h
We have a probe (HAS_Z_MIN_PROBE) if one of the pins is defined AND one of the probes is defined.
SanityCheck.h
Add some tests if the probe is connected and if we have defined a probe.
stepper.cpp
Changes to test the probe only when it is deployed (z_probe_is_active).
Test update_endstops() when the probe is deployed.
MarlinMain.cpp
a. set and reset z_probe_is_active in deploy_z_probe(), stow_z_probe() and dock_sled()
b. set and reset z_probe_is_active in the case a z-servo is moved to a defined position. The only remaining unhandled servo move is in M280 where we do not end in a defined position. If you want to handle a probe use M401/402
c. skip deploying/stowing when already deployed/stowed in the dedicated deploy/stow functions.
d. Handle the new FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE in parallel to a servo driven probe/endstop.
To do: In another PR. handle all probes in deploy/stow_z_probe.
Sort out SERVO_LEVELING vs. HAS_SERVO_ENDSTOPS.
If Marlin is blocking the serial input or command queue for any length
of time (for example more than 2 seconds), it needs to send a message
to serial out to inform the host that it is busy. Marlin should only
send these messages out when busy, and preferably not when trying to
print formatted output.
rebased
corrected spelling
changed to #elif for error
Still with MIN_Z_HEIGHT_FOR_HOMING but con be done with (folder wide) search-replace when we have a better name.
Renamed `WARN_REDUCED_ACCURACY` to `DISABLE_REDUCED_ACCURACY_WARNING`
Changed the condition for blinking from
```
#if ENABLED(WARN_REDUCED_ACCURACY)
```
to
```
#if DISABLED(DISABLE_REDUCED_ACCURACY_WARNING)
```
Replaced displaying "---" instead of the value of a coordinate when
unhomed or with reduced precision
with blinking the coordinate-prefix-character ('X','Y','Z').
For "unhomed" a '?' is shown every second second - until that axis is
homed. The value displayed is, as before the "---" where displayed, the
relative to the reset position coordinate value.
When the axis stepper was disabled, now we can display a hint on that,
by showing a blinking ' ' instead of the axis letter, when
WARN_REDUCED_ACCURACY is defined.
I suppose the code itself is here the better documentation.
A '+/-' character is in non of our charsets so i decided for a '?' for
now to reduce the work.
There is no additional space on the displays one could use to display
the information, so replacing something is the only option. As the axis
letters are totally redundant with their positions on the display they
contain the least information.
So my decision was to overwrite them.
Make stepper shutdown after inactivity dependent on a new set of
#defines.
DISABLE_INACTIV_X
DISABLE_INACTIV_Y
DISABLE_INACTIV_Z
DISABLE_INACTIV_E
And make exemplaric Configuration.
Names can be discussed.
This makes the disabling of the steppers independent from the DISABLE_?
settings witch shut down the steppers immediately.
Currently we use the probe exclusively as a device to find the build platform(bed).
For the currently supported setups this means, we use it as a additional min-endstop.
A triggered when not deployed probe disturbs the homing process for max-endstops.
Rename ENDSTOPPULLUP_ZPROBE to ENDSTOPPULLUP_ZMIN_PROBE
Rename Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING to Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING
Rename Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP to Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP
Rename DISABLE_Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP to DISABLE_Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP
Rename Z_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST to Z_MIN_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST
Rename Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP to Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP
Adjust comments accordingly
Remove Z_MAX check for the probe in update_endstops().
Using an delta related idea of @clefranc from #61,
extended to the general change for all setups.
Tested with Prusa i3, max-z-endstop and permanently triggered z-probe.
Worked for @clefranc's delta.
- `SD_DETECT_PIN` replaces `SDCARDDETECT`
- `SD_DETECT_INVERTED` replaces `SDCARDDETECTINVERTED`
- Revise the description of `SD_DETECT_INVERTED`
- Add a note about the override of `SD_DETECT_INVERTED` in
`Conditionals.h`
