Wildlife Tracking

Here's a sample of our code using the robot class to wake/sleep the computer when motion is detected by a sensor connected to an Arduino microcontroller. We used a counter as a substitute example for what would be incoming serial data from a sensor connected to the Arduino, so that every time the counter reaches 100, the mouse moves.
