This is a simple straightforward and relatively lightweight example of how to seed the internal PRNG function with a truly random value

// TrueRandomSeed.ino | |
// This example sketch shows how to provide a truly random seed value to the built in | |
// library pseudo random number generator. This ensures that your sketch will be | |
// using a different sequence of random numbers every time it runs. Unlike the | |
// usually suggested randomSeed(analogRead(0)) this method will provide a much more | |
// uniform and varied seed value. For more information about the basic technique used | |
// here to produce a random number or if you need more than one such number you can | |
// find a library, Entropy from the following web site along with documentation of how | |
// the library has been tested to provide TRUE random numbers on a variety of AVR | |
// chips and arduino environments. | |
