Suggestion to add more functionalities

[Abysslabs]

Hello cguerrero,

First of all thanks for the great work you have done on this project.
Second sorry for job lost, pandemic situation not easy for nobody, here in Portugal a lot of people is loosing jobs as well :(

I have a suggestion to give that I think is easy to implement. ("I THINK" I'm a noob regarding software)
what about adding 7 physicals buttons, to move the spindle, like arrows to move across (X,Y and Z) and switch ON/OFF spindler.
also on display menu have the customization about step in mm and speed feed rate for the buttons.

With this change we were able to manual perform simple items/tasks.

Thanks again all the best.

Hello, thank you for your comments.

Regarding the improvements you propose, they are relatively easy to do, the issue is that I would practically have to make a code almost from scratch, because all the options menu is configured to work only with the encoder, being thus, to add the buttons you propose, easier to start from 0, taking the blocks of code that are of interest from the original code.

As soon as I can, I will start with the modifications.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.
