Candle grbl control

[d1ulookin4]

Hello,

Is anyone here actively using Candle for their workflow? From the github project, there are a number of issues and pull requests, but the project looks like it’s been dormant for a couple years.

I have a few changes and enhancements in progress, but I’m curious if anyone is using it.

I do intend to, when I finally manage to get probing working on my mill - Candle's built-in leveling map is something I long had my eyes on. I didn't know it's unmaintained now - well, the existing version should still work if nothing else comes about...

The leveling features look pretty well thought out. I don't do PCBs or need that level of accuracy for what I do, so I haven't done anything with it. I have added support for the WHB04B-4 pendant, and a simple macro processing thing that is similar to what CNCjs does. Overall, it's pretty decent code to work on. It runs much better on a RPI 3 than CNCjs or bCNC for sure.
