These are also easy to DIY with a raspberry pi, rfid card reader, some blank cards, and phoniebox [0] for the software. I don't have much electronics experience and had it up and running fairly easily for under $40.

- IshKebab 9mo agoI thought the same before we actually got a Yoto. This is one of those "I could easily DIY that" things that you really couldn't.
- sleekest 9mo agoI have a DIY one, which took two evenings, but it's limitation is that it isn't portable. I expect there are big benefits to portability, but I'm okay with not having them. Is there anything else I'm missing?
- IshKebab 9mo agoAccess to the audiobooks published for Yoto. Yoto daily (daily podcast for kids that my kids absolutely love). A button that plays relaxing music to help them go to sleep. The display (they love this a surprising amount). General polish (I imagine it's pretty janky if it took 2 evenings).
- sleekest 9mo agoThanks. I had a listen to Yoto Daily, and it's nice! https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/yotodaily https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/yotodaily The relaxing music plays the same track, or varies it? I guess it's on for ~20 mins or so?
