Pseudo-randomly moves a servo tower (on X and Y axis) and lights up a laser.

x_servo is attached to pin 9 (and +5V and GND) and moves in the X plan.

y_servo is attached to pin 6 (and +5V and GND) and moves in the Y plan.

Laser is attached to pin 13 (and GND).

Download the .ino file, open it inside the arduino software and send it to your arduino.

The program randomly choose a new position for the laser inside a square you can define in the variables. It checks the new position is different from the old one of at least "minimal_movement". It moves the tower to the new position and stays still for a time between min_freeze and max_freeze (this aims to reproduce the behaviour of an insect landing somewhere for a bit and then flying off, that's the variable you need to increase if your cat is fat...). Ans starts the process over and over again.
