DIY Screen Switching Tool for Engineers

Sometimes slacking off is refreshing, but continuously slacking off is even better!

Who can withstand the “996” or “715” work schedule? Even the donkey in the production team wouldn’t dare to work like that; donkeys need rest too. Proper rest can recharge the brain, allowing us to face more challenges and complete our work more efficiently.

When we are surfing the internet and relaxing our brains (not just looking at legs), we need our colleagues to keep an eye on the boss. Even if our colleagues are very reliable and remind us in time, manually switching screens on the keyboard is not only unintelligent but also quite dangerous.

So, I realized I needed to do something…

Materials List

• DFRobot Leonardo & Xbee R3

• Gravity: Digital Wireless Switch (433MHz)

• Gravity: 3-80cm Infrared Digital Obstacle Avoidance Sensor

• Gravity: Digital Vibration Sensor (Arduino Compatible)

• NOT Gate

The Leonardo uses a separate USB-Serial converter chip, employing the Atmega32u4 single-chip to achieve USB communication and control. The native USB support of Atmega32u4 also allows the Leonardo to emulate a mouse and keyboard.

Circuit Connection

Install the sensor transmitter into a box (you can cut the wires and re-solder them to reduce the size significantly).

Wrap it with stickers (instantly upgrades its appearance).

Connect the receiver to the computer:

Key Functions

Keyboard.press() Select the keys you need to use:

Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_ALT);
Keyboard.press(KEY_TAB);

Keyboard.releaseAll() Release the keys to simulate pressing combination keys:

Keyboard.releaseAll();

Usage Testing

When the transmitter detects someone passing by, the receiver automatically switches the screen.

When the vibration sensor is hit, the Leonardo simulates pressing the enter key.

Watch the effect:

Wake up, friend, you can’t really believe this, right?

Slacking off at work, and the boss is shouting dismissal!!! But I’m not afraid of being fired; I can go work in a factory, I have connections.
