Run script when cnc cut finishes

[benfly]

Hello all and thank you for reading ,
 
I'm interested in having Mach 3 text/sms/message me when it's done cutting my part.  Sometimes it takes forever to cut a part and I'm OK with leaving it to cut on its own for hours (I like to leave the noisy router room and maybe watch a movie or do something in the yard, or eat some food, etc).  I have some good VB programming experience so I'm comfortable with creating a script that emails/texts/sms messages me, I just need to know how to get Mach 3 to invoke/run my script when it finishes cutting. 

Thanks again,
Ben

Make it an M code and add it to the end of your g-code.

I have a script to do the messaging over the web or you can do it with a SMS modem.

You would insert it into the M1030 macro. That way it will text you automatically when the M30 ends the program. It works very well on LONG programs.it just buzzes your cell phone with the text message.

It can have a toggle code  so you can turn off the option when you don't need it.

I can post the code if you want it. I'll drag it out.
