Looks like a homebrew Yoto
- dwayne_dibley 1y agoYoto is genuinely one of the most underrated pieces of tech. 10/10 for me.
- jordanf 1y agoYeah, we have a Yoto, and it's great. But their custom cards are pretty expensive. And, let's face it, I wanted a weekend project :)
- PokeStick 1y agoYour project is super cool and really well executed. Thanks for sharing. I’ve had success with cheap blank NFC cards instead of the official MyYo York cards. I have a quick breakdown in my recent comment history if you’re curious.
- jordanf 1y agothank you!
- crazybonkersai 1y agoYou can use bulk nfc cards from China. I got like 50 cards for five bucks or so. Taking them into use is a bit more laborious (you have to record an official card first and then duplicate the tag to a bulk card), but considering the price is a no brainer.
- jordanf 1y agooh cool, thanks.
- UtopiaPunk 1y agoWe have a Yoto, too. We got it for my three-year-old and he listens to pretty often. My 1-year-old found it recently and I'm surprised at how much he likes engaging with it, too.
- schainks 1y agoYeah. We love our Yoto but I also can’t hook up Spotify streaming to Yoto cards, so this post is a very inspired way to bring back the “purpose” behind collecting the music. I think a workaround to the Spotify issue with Yoto would be proxying a Spotify account through a raspberry pi or lightweight cloud vm. The Yoto cards themselves point to playlists in yoto’s cloud, and the playlists can link to files or stream URIs.
