StayAwake

This project leverages the robotjs library to automate mouse movement in a sine wave pattern across the screen. Additionally, the script runs until the current time (in PST/PDT) surpasses 5:15 PM by default, making it suitable for automation tasks that require time-sensitive termination.

Features

  • Moves the mouse in a smooth sine wave pattern across the screen.
  • Automatically stops the script if the current time is after 5:15 PM PST/PDT.
  • Simulates key taps (right shift) to prevent the computer from going to sleep during execution.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js: Ensure Node.js is installed on your machine. It can be downloaded from the official website.
  • robotjs: A library that facilitates mouse and keyboard control.
  • date-fns: Used for working with date and time functions.
  • date-fns-tz: Helps with time zone handling.

Installation

  1. Clone the repository

  2. Navigate to the project folder

  3. Install the required dependencies:

npm install

Usage

  1. Run the project using:
node index.js

  1. The program will start moving the mouse in a sine wave pattern and simulate key taps every 5 seconds to prevent the system from going idle.

  2. The program will automatically stop once the time is later than 5:15 PM PST/PDT.

How It Works

  • The program uses robotjs to move the mouse in a sine wave pattern across the screen.
  • The isTimeGreaterThan5PMPST function checks if the current time (in PST/PDT) is greater than 5:15 PM.
  • The program runs in a continuous loop, moving the mouse and sending right-shift key taps every 5 seconds.

Customization

  • To adjust the time, modify the isTimeGreaterThan5PMPST function.
  • Alter the sine wave movement or speed by changing the logic inside the loop of the init function.
  • Customize the key tap action (right_shift) to simulate different keys if required.
