Re: [LUG] OT : USB Robotic arm wanted

 

Hey Giles!

That's a cool and unique looking device. Not seen something like that before. That device would give the correct effect too.

Have you used one of these "stress" savers ;) - can it be trusted?

Hi Folks.

Wondering if anyone out there can point me in the direction of a very cheap USB robotic arm. It is simply required to move a stylus over a touchscreen once a minute to stop the computer / vdi logging out.

Looking for the simplest and cheapest thing going - will also take second hand stuff.

Many Thanks!


Gosh, sounds pretty involved, does the touchscreen device have a USB port of its own and support a USB mouse, I know computer support staff use these (Mouse Jiggler MJ3):

They prevent screensavers/screen-locks from activating so that staff can leave their laptops with IT Support staff and not having to leave their password on a post-it note behind in case the laptop goes to sleep and locks, requiring the password to unlock.
