### Send START command via UDP in Python

Source: https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/latest/Guides/AutomationWithUDP

This basic Python example sends the START command to LightBurn to begin running the currently open file on the laser. It uses a UDP socket to send the command to localhost on port 19840.

```python
import socket 
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) # 
sock.sendto(b"START", ("127.0.0.1", 19840)) # 

```
