Disable corporate computer blocking

Task: Find way and implement anti-blocking computer tool

Corporate computer has policy to block in 10 inactive minutes. So the goal is avoid blocking.

Solution:

I am going to use Arduino Leonardo controller and will write program which emulates mouse move action every 1-2 minutes.

Program: MouseMover.ino

#include <Mouse.h>

void setup() {
  randomSeed(analogRead(0));
  Mouse.begin();
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  delay(60000 + random(60000)); // 60 seconds + random(0..60) seconds
  switch (random(4)) { // random direction
    case 0:
      Mouse.move(2, 0, 0);
      break;
    case 1:
      Mouse.move(-2, 0, 0);
      break;
    case 2:
      Mouse.move(0, 2, 0);
      break;
    case 3:
      Mouse.move(0, -2, 0);
      break;
  }
  // Led indicator blink.
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // turn the LED on
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // turn the LED off
}


Insert this controller into any USB port on your computer and your mouse will do little move (2 pixels) every 1-2 minutes as a result your OS will never be blocking.

Have a fun.

Done.
