Full Changelog: https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/compare/v2.0.19...v2.0.20

This version has several fixes focused on probing and auto leveling. Many issues was caused by mixing of units, for instance if the UI was set to show in inches and the probing was done in metric.

The visualization of the autoleveling will now also better show the height data based on the lowest point relative to the highest. Here is a sample where I did an auto level on a coin where the probe area was 12mm x 13mm with a max scan depth of 0.16mm:

Probing is now implemented as actions which can then be mapped to a keyboard shortcut, gamepad button, toolbar button or toolbox button.

For you vampires out there - the dark theme has got some updates:

For those of you who are using lasers - the visualizer will now also display the spindle speed:
