"Hardware" Fishing Bot With Arduino

[D4p0up]

You have probably heard about the Arduino Open source Atmel development board. The latest model, Arduino Leonardo, is simple to program and can be recognised by windows or mac as a USB Mouse/Keyboard device.

Here is a KISS fishing "bot" inside a small hardware board that sends Mouse/Keyboard events as any Keyboard/Mouse would do. Upload this code to your Arduino Leonardo board, move your character in 1st person in front fo the water, bind fishing to key 8, and you're good to go. No Software stuff aside, memedit and such, so it's likely to be undetectable "as is".

Last tests performed showed a "win" rate of 7/20 fish, which is actually the best I achieved while fine-tuning the parameters. Script is obviously simple, anyhow.

How it works:
It casts Fishing by pressing the associated key.
Waits 12,5 seconds (half the fishing CD)
Scans a 10x7 box from upper left corner and presses Right Button each stop
Comes back to origin
And loops...

Usage and limitations:
Place your mouse in the middle of the upper right square of your screen, to allow it to scan the 10x10 box. Test the script a few times to find your best position.
Put your character in front of the water, first person mode, in a way that you have the best chances to have the bobble inside the 10x7 Box.
You must disable windows/Osx Mouse smoothing in the Mouse submenu, otherwise mouse will move erraticly.
If your computer lags by nature, i.e. is not powerfull enough to run wow consistently at highest rate, you may experience movements of the view angle during scanning. This is caused by the fact that mouse2 being pressed while movement turns your angle of vision. Reduce the visual quality of the game if you experience those movements.

Last word
It's a "work in progress" sharing, not working perfectly I confess. The main asset here is that it's 100% hardware, mouse + keyboard hardware emulation. So there is a great chance that it makes it undetectable as it is. Many improvements can be done, like auto logout after a certain period, etc... That's next, but up to now this simple fine tuned version works pretty well, so i'm sharing it.
Anyhow I'm more a hardware guy, coding is not my cup of tea, I'm currently drawing the schematic of a simple board with the same microcontroller and few buttons to enhance the concept with start/stop functions and also think of a spinoff of this as a rotation bot...

Code
Copy paste this code in the Arduino GUI, press "upload", and enjoy !
Simple !

/*
  FishBox V0.1
 */
#define DELTA 11
#define KEY _
#define DELAY 1000
#define BOX 10
#define VBOX 7

void setup() {
  // initialize mouse/keyboard control
  Mouse.begin();
  Keyboard.begin();  
  // delay before starting bot
  delay(12500);    
}

void loop() { //Main loop
  //casting fishing
  Keyboard.write('8'); 
  delay(12500);
  //Box Clicking
  for (int j=0; j<VBOX; j++) { 
    for (int i=0; i<BOX; i++) {
      Mouse.click(MOUSE_RIGHT);
      delay(20);
      Mouse.release(MOUSE_RIGHT);
      delay(50);  
      Mouse.move(DELTA, 0, 0);
    }
    delay(20);
    Mouse.move(-DELTA*BOX, DELTA, 0);
  }
  delay(20);
  // Bring cursor back to origin
  Mouse.move(0, -DELTA*VBOX, 0);
  // Wait for Loot to be processed, if last click loots
  delay(1500);
}

Interesting. I've also done some work with arduino boards. But not in relation with bots.
It's definitly a way if blizzard improves the detection for injections.

Keep this up.

I might try learning more about how this Arduino board works and continue working on this.

I thought about hardware coded bots. I would recommend using a randomizer instead to not have the same exact values all the time. Blizzard could have some detection for it(I don't think so but who knows). But then again, maybe it won't see your 12500 delay due to latency.

Still very interesting and good job!

Hmm, I have a raspberry pi 2. I might have to take a look at this and play around with it. =)
