G-Pilot G-Code Sender

What G stands for?

• G-code Pilot: G-code is a programming language used to control CNC machines, so “G-Pilot” may suggest that the program is used for piloting or controlling using G-code.
• Guided Pilot: “G-Pilot” may also suggest that the program provides guidance or leads the user through processes related to CNC machining, similar to how a pilot guides an airplane.
• Global Pilot: This may suggest that the program offers solutions on a global scale, able to handle various types of CNC machines and be a versatile tool for controlling them.
• Genius Pilot: “G-Pilot” may suggest that the program is smart or advanced, similar to a pilot with high piloting skills.
• Graphical Pilot: If the program offers a graphical interface for controlling CNC machines, the name “G-Pilot” may suggest that it is a graphics-based tool.

This fork is based on the Candle experimental branch. The main goal is to add joystick/joypad support. Other than that, I’m making improvements/bugfixes at my discretion.

Any help is welcome!
