What is it?
Mouse Whisperer is a small development kit that is based on Microchip ATtiny85 MCU. It will act like a physical mouse and draw perfect circles while you’re away.
Why?
There are many reasons why not, but also a few reasons why. Big Corpo tends to sell your convenience for security but doesn’t taking into account if you’re working in the office or from home.
- I’m sick and tired of entering passwords each time I leave my laptop for 2 minutes
- I don’t want my screen to go dark whenever I’m focused on something and happen to not move the mouse for a minute or two
- I want to be available for other Team members, even if I go for a cup of coffee
- But mainly, if someone enforces stupid policies on my laptop and I cannot change them – I will work around them
Mouse Whisperer is there to bring some of that convenience back.
