Description

SummaryI used the littleBits CLOUDBIT Starter kit to send a text message to my iPhone when the 3D print is done on my Davinci 3D printer. The setup is easy. And then I 3D printed a base to hold the board in place. When the platform lowers it presses a switch and the CLOUDBIT sends an SMS message to my iPhone that the "3D Print Is Done".InstructionsI created a YouTube video to show how I made this including how to set up the CLOUDBIT for SMS message. http://youtu.be/_kcfEsn1x-I

Yeah, it’s all about the settings. I love using scheduled messages in different messengers when I go on vacation, but I still want to avoid letting down my colleagues or shirking responsibility for tasks. Here’s a link <a href="https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-schedule-a-text-message-on-iphone">https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-schedule-a-text-message-on-iphone</a>. It offers simple and clear solutions for setting up delayed messages, which I use to schedule sending messages with important work-related information while I can take a week off peacefully.

Recently, I tried Telegram’s scheduled messages for the first time. I thought it would be convenient, but in the end, I messed something up, and everything got sent at the wrong time and to the wrong place. In theory, if you figure it out and don’t leave it to the last minute like I did, it could be useful.
