Servo Clicks F5 for Us
January 14, 2026 · 1 min read
I work at Acos as a developer. I am one of the team members building Interact+ - a tool for collecting structured data through self-service forms.
In our team room, we have a large monitor displaying our Kibana dashboard. It's useful to have it visible, but the problem is that the dashboard needs to be refreshed regularly to show updated data.

Instead of having to regularly go over and press F5 to refresh, I've created a small program on an MCU that makes a servo automatically click the button for us.
Not the best solution, not the simplest, but a very FUN way to solve the problem!
