I discovered 'playerctl' last night - a linux util that sends mpris commands to start/stop/etc music players; quite nice.

/me tries the 'strawberry' music player rather than 'Rhythmbox which I've been using for a few years.

The mark 1 junk box foot pedal is coming together:

Right, my hacky #esp32 #rustlang code can now send key strokes over usb; I'm doing it synchronously and using usbd_hid; which is working OK (I need to add some debounce).
Hmm but not terrible.

These chunky toggle switches are nice - they can have upto 4 sets of contacts, each of which seem to have a bunch of poles each. These are momentary but there are some latching. Given the 'under license from Ericsson' label I assume they came off some comms kit originally. Now, I've just got to figure out how to mount them to something other than a panel.
