To guarantee that the 5mS pulse from a BLTouch is recognized you need to
have the endstops.update() routine run twice in that 5mS period.
At 200 steps per mm, my system has problems below a feedrate of 120 mm
per minute.
Two things were done to guarantee the two updates within 5mS:
1) In interrupt mode, a check was added to the temperature ISR. If the
endstop interrupt flag/counter is active then it'll kick off the endstop
update routine every 1mS until the flag/counter is zero. This
flag/counter is decremented by the temperature ISR AND by the stepper
ISR.
2) In poling mode, code was added to the stepper ISR that will make sure
the ISR runs about every 1.5mS. The "extra" ISR runs only check the
endstops. This was done by grabbing the intended ISR delay and, if it's
over 2.0mS, splitting the intended delay into multiple smaller delays.
The first delay can be up to 2.0mS, the next ones 1.5mS (as needed) and
the last no less than 0.5mS.
=========================================
BLTouch error state recovery
If BLTouch already active when deploying the probe then try to reset it
& clear the probe.
If that doesn't fix it then declare an error.
Also added BLTouch init routine to startup section
