Step by Step Hommade Make Mouse Jiggler

How to Make Own Mouse Jiggler with Raspberry Pi Pico

Our story begins with the unassuming yet powerful Raspberry Pi Pico at the heart of our project. This tiny board, when combined with Picobricks, turns into a DIY powerhouse. But what exactly is a mouse jiggler, you ask? It's a device that simulates mouse movements, keeping your computer awake and bustling with virtual life, even when you're not there!

Blueprint of Our Creation

Lets Coding with Python

First, let's dive into building our mouse jiggler with BricksIDE. This friendly environment makes coding as easy as pie. I'll walk you through each step, peppering in bits of code and a dash of humor to keep things interesting.

Arduino C Codes

And for those who prefer the classic taste of Arduino C, we've got you covered too. Let's explore how to bring our mouse jiggler to life using this evergreen language.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "ACROBOTIC_SSD1306.h"
#include <Wire.h>
#define BUTTON_PIN 10

const int motorPin = 21;
const int potPin = 26;

bool motorState = false;

void stopMotor() {
  analogWrite(motorPin, 0);
  oled.clearDisplay();
  oled.setTextXY(1, 1);
  oled.putString("Push The Button");
  oled.setTextXY(3, 3);
  oled.putString("For Switch");
  oled.setTextXY(5, 6);
  oled.putString("Mode");
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT);
  pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
  Wire.begin();
  oled.init();
  oled.clearDisplay();
  oled.setTextXY(1, 4);
  oled.putString("Mouse");
  oled.setTextXY(2, 6);
  oled.putString("Mover");
  oled.setTextXY(5,2);
  oled.putString("Press Button");
  oled.setTextXY(6,5);
  oled.putString("For AFK");
}

void loop() {
  int motorSpeed = 40;
  if (digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN) == HIGH) {
    motorState = true;
    delay(100);
    oled.clearDisplay();
  }

  while(motorState == true) {
    if (motorSpeed == 40) {
     
      analogWrite(motorPin, motorSpeed * 2.5);
      delay(1000);
      motorSpeed = 0; 
    } else {
      
      motorSpeed = map(analogRead(potPin), 0, 1023, 15, 25);
      analogWrite(motorPin, motorSpeed * 2.5);
    oled.setTextXY(1, 2);
    oled.putString("You Are Now ");
    oled.setTextXY(4, 6);
    oled.putString("AFK");
    }
    if (digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN) == HIGH) {
      motorState = false;
      oled.clearDisplay();
      stopMotor();
      delay(300);
    }
 } 
}

And Mouse Mover 3D STL Files

Now, for the pièce de résistance! We're adding a 3D-printed enclosure to our project. This isn't just any box; it's a custom-designed home for our mouse jiggler. It cleverly hides the motor and creates a perfect playground for our mouse.

FAQs

How does a mouse jiggler help?
