Add separate "Home Z axis" option about cncgcodecontroller HOT 10 CLOSED

Hello,
Wa need to redesign the manual controls anyway (pronterface style i
guess) to make it easier manual moves.
When doing we should have what you want ;)

Hi, I have been using CncGcodeController for a while now (very
convenient software, thanks!) and I am missing separate homing options.
In my current setup, when pressing "Homing" thr XY axes travel to zero
and then Z goes down until I manually make contact with the probe
wires. How does this differ from your Marlin configuration?

I wanted to ask for a new feature, to split the homing button into
"Home XY" and "Home Z". That way it would be possible to zero the
height in a more controlled manner without having to manually stop Z
homing and later type G28 Z0 in the console.

That would be awesome! Thanks!

Also, do you rely on a particular branch of Marlin?

On my side i have http://reprap.org/wiki/Cyclone_PCB_Factory
using this branch of marlin: https://github.com/carlosgs/Cyclone-PCB-Factory
This fork was made to support specific Gcodes for multiple probing and
for inverted homing mecanism and also to adjust defautl settings (step
rates etc...)
I haven't tried last marling version to know if it's compatible with
CncGcodeController.
Most features should be compatible for sure, and depending on your build
a few adjustments might be required.

Does this help you a little bit on your question?

Thanks! It does help. I made that fork some time ago, and now I am re-taking the task with the latest version, trying to keep as close to the original Marlin as possible ( https://github.com/carlosgs/MarlinForCyclone ). The parameters are set for the upcoming Cyclone V2 (stl), which is being sponsored by BQ, a spanish startup here in Madrid :)

CNC Gcode controller works very well indeed. As it is very convenient and has an open license, I have suggested BQ to promote its use with an eventual Cyclone V2 kit. Are you OK with your software being used with a commercial product? I have ensured they would not "rebrand" it or anything, and of course all the improvements would be published as a fork ^_^

Sure feel free to use it the more people it use the better it gets! I'm also planing to add camera support but I have very limited time in the moment .... Good luck!

Great, thank you! Camera option would be awesome :D
I will see if I can implement these buttons myself :P

A pull request is in the queue right now with a simple pronter face like user interface that allows nearly the same things as pronterface except the mangement of heating elements of course.
So home separately X, Y and Z is possible as well as XY and XYZ at once.
