What it is
The Puck.js that advanced the slides in 2017, reflashed as a Bluetooth keyboard: press to send the Zoom mute shortcut, release to send it again. Hold to talk. "All-in-all, about 20 lines of code."
A Bluetooth device announces what kind of thing it is, and MIDI is one of the things it can claim to be. The BLE MIDI module for Espruino is what let the Puck show up as an instrument in 2017. The muter is under Make your own.
