D6 Plus branch? #9

Hi!

First of all, many thanks for your hard work on the firwmare! Any chance to have a D6 Plus specific branch, which has an inductive sensor? Which auto level probe type should it use? Also, which ABL method would work the best with that? Thanks! Bence

I don't have a D6 Plus nor have access to one but my guess would be to define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN. Use M119 to and something metal to test and verify the probe is working and the polarity is set correctly before trying to home z.

As far as the type of ABL method. It depends on how flat your build surface is. Use Linear if your build surface is a nice flat plane. bilinear or UBL otherwise.

I use AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR and only have it probe the four corners at the start of every print. I mainly use this as I have a BLTouch and change build surfaces often.

You can use UBL where it saves a mesh to eeprom and have it only probe once when homing. It is just a bit more complicated for the initial setup.
