Wait GCode

I'm trying to build a print/script that will heat up the hotend to 280 for 1 min, then go down to 110 and wait 5 mins, then beep, so I can do a cold pull. I have all the commands needed except for the wait command and how to make it go 5 mins.

Any ideas?

G4 S300; will wait for 300 seconds = 5 minutes

i commonly use the G4 command inside my start script, together with an M300 S440 P1000 "beep", to remind me cleaning the nozzle with the tweezers.

Awesome. Thanks you guys!

Is there a way to display a prompt of some sort with a yes/no, so that it can wait until I confirm I did the cold pull?

unfortunately not.
the genuine marlin firmware is supposed to prompt such a message, but it's messed up inside the prusa branch (due to the refresh / scrolling of the lcd).

What do you need to put after each line to make the pritner wait before sending the rest? This is what I created so far using textedit on mac although it sends some formatting text at the beginning. It sends all this in succession and makes the print finish right away although it looks like its following the commands in order at least.

M115 U3.0.11 ; use the latest firmware version
