Added feature

[DaveDischord]

I'm sure you have a lot of more important areas to tackle, but if you get a chance, I was thinking that a good feature would be adding a toggle for a vent fan/hood or vacuum using the Pi GPIOs that you can control via interface and/or embedded in GCode.

This is an interesting idea.

Unfortunately I have not had much time to work on this plugin, and I don't really have much knowledge of using the Pi's gpio pins, let alone doing it from octoprint. Can you provide (a lot) more detail?

Pi GPIOs can be toggle/read via script, but Octoprint has the Enclosure plugin <https://github.com/vitormhenrique/OctoPrint-Enclosure> that is already established, with a function that allows for Gcode control explained here <https://github.com/vitormhenrique/OctoPrint-Enclosure/wiki/G-CODE-Control>. So, maybe instead of having your own full-on GPIO control built in, you could reference that plugin and have a little side function that allows the user to inject the gcode at certain points, or even a timer that calls a predefined function in the Enclosure plugin. I'm not knowledgeable on building Octoprint by any means, but I like what you're working to accomplish.
