Design routine to pull PID values from online resource #10

The idea is to fetch PID tuned value from online database (might be from Github) if someone else already did the job. The value shall be applied to the existing PID system.

Having a preset function for various NC powders is certainly a good idea.

One possibility could be to input the data through the web interface, enabling users to select different powder settings on the display. This way, creating a dataset could be done quickly, and potentially shared later on GitHub.

I also believe that the precision of the auger's 3D printing process and the printing system used can influence performance. A resin printer, for instance, would yield a different surface compared to a filament printer, likely affecting the dispensing rate.

Making the value in the source code that determines how long the large auger works until reaching the target weight adjustable would be very practical. I've already set mine to 1 grain. I tested it with VIHTAVUORI N320 NC powder.
