The problem it solves

Finding a suitable audiobook player for children as they grow can be challenging. Existing devices may not offer the desired features or support, leading to frustration for both kids and parents.

How it flows
  1. Repurpose Device
  2. Firmware Flashing
  3. Local Operation
  4. NFC Integration
  5. User Control

Step-by-step setup

  1. Gather Materials

    Collect the old Yoto Players and necessary tools for the modification, including soldering equipment.

  2. Flash Firmware

    Open the Yoto Player and solder the required wires to install the custom firmware that enables Audiobookshelf functionality.

  3. Set Up Audiobookshelf

    Configure the Audiobookshelf client on the Yoto Player, allowing browsing of the library and syncing of favorites.

  4. Integrate NFC Cards

    Optionally link books and favorites to NFC cards for easy access, while maintaining the original NFC card concept.

  5. Enjoy the New Features

    Use the two knobs and the display to navigate the library, enjoying a personalized audiobook experience.
