Manually adjust heat map (AutoLeveler)

[joakimgk]

When making PCBs on the CNC, I often have to adjust the Z value manually and run multiple passes to get a usable result. Often, I also have to place pieces of masking tape under the copper plate to lift it slightly in certain areas. I'd like to try to write a tool which could allow me to manually adjust the heatmap, lifting or lowering certain points and compute a new heatmap. UGS does support export and import of heatmap files. Can you please point me to the code showing how the heatmap file is being created, I'm looking to understand the exported format.

Perhaps this could also be a feature considered for the UGS software?

I think the part that you are interested in is this:

Universal-G-Code-Sender/ugs-platform/ugs-platform-surfacescanner/src/main/java/com/willwinder/ugs/platform/surfacescanner/actions/OpenScannedSurfaceAction.java

Line 112 in 65c5cea

Optional<Position> nextProbePoint = surfaceScanner.getNextProbePoint();

As it is implemented now you define the area and the probe steps which will generate a grid of points. When reading the file those points must line up with this grid.
