No sound on weld connection and after weld. (More of a suggestion)

I've used some of the cheaper welders over the years and they always give an audible indication of the weld taking place. Seemed weird it wasn't on here. I also wanted one when the probes where detected.
Maybe it's just me, but I really prefer the additional audio feedback.
I did a quick hack on mine, just including the code to show you what I mean.
if ( shortPulseDelay < 1 ) shortPulseDelay = 1;
tone(PIN_BUZZ, 1000, 200);
// Wait the pulse engagement delay time.
if ( sensePin == PIN_AUTO_PULSE ) {
wait.opt = PGR_ON;
wait.time = delayEngage;
while ( !drawProgress( &wait, false ) ) {
if ( digitalRead( PIN_AUTO_PULSE ) != activePinState ) {
drawProgress( &wait, true );
return;
}
}
} else {
delay( delayEngage );
}
tone(PIN_BUZZ, 1000, 200);
if ( pData.shortPulseTime > 0 && pData.pulseTime > 3 ) {
// Send the pre-heat pulse.
weldPulse( P_ON );
delay( shortPulseDelay );
weldPulse( P_OFF );
// Wait the inter-pulse delay time.
delay( shortPulseDelay );
}
As I said, just a suggestion for a software update going forward.

Thank you for that idea. I will implement it in the next software version. I think it is best to make the sound selectable in the menu. So the user can decide if they want to turn it on or off.
