Man Builds DIY Communication Device for Grandma

A software engineer built a communicating device for his grandma so she could talk to her family more often during lockdown. Software engineer Manuel Lucio Dallo visits his grandma often, but because of COVID-19 movement restrictions, other grandchildren who live further away can’t do that. His grandma has hearing problems, so using the phone to communicate can be hard. That is why Manuel created the Yayagram—an easy-to-use device that sends out voice messages and prints out received answers.

The functions of the Yayagram are to send voice messages and to receive printed messages via Telegram. To send a message, grandma Felisa chooses who she wants to connect with and inserts a jack connector into the port with the corresponding name.

To record the message, the grandma has to press the button and hold it until she finishes speaking. Upon releasing the button, the message is sent and the grandchild will receive it to their Telegram app.

The device can receive only text messages, so when the grandchildren respond, the granny will get it printed on thermal paper and can read it like an old telegram, which, honestly, sounds really cool and fun. Everything is designed to be simple to use and convenient to the beloved grandma.
