Mouse Wiggler
The computer thinks it’s a usb mouse. When activated, it jiggles the mouse cursor a random tiny distance and direction, every 50-60 seconds.
The breathing LED means it’s active. This makes sure a work computer won’t go to sleep when you want it awake, without changing any settings. Just a slap of the big red button and she’ll sleep like mother IT department intended. All you need is a @sparkfun #ProMicro and the #Arduino software to program it. You don’t even need to add the button, it’s active by default. Code below for Pro Micro or Leonardo.
