MeshCore for Attaky

Attaky Compatible firmware built on the open-source MeshCore project for Attaky Core, with Bluetooth app pairing, long-range LoRa, and GPS.

This Attaky-built, MeshCore-compatible firmware turns the handheld with the LoRa + GPS expansion into a Bluetooth companion radio for the MeshCore phone app. The device handles radio, GPS, pairing, and quick status checks on its color screen, while messaging, contacts, and channels stay in the app.

Highlights

• Bluetooth companion role pairs the Attaky device with the MeshCore phone app for conversations, contacts, channels, and configuration.
• Color status UI shows node name, radio parameters, Bluetooth pairing PIN, message count, and a recent-message preview.
• GPS position sharing sends location data from the LoRa + GPS expansion to the companion app.
• US and Canada radio defaults match the Attaky LoRa hardware while leaving the operating frequency adjustable from the app.
• D-pad navigation uses Select, Left, Right, and L1 for quick status-screen control.
• Optional battery reporting shows battery level when the power module is attached.

Companion App Workflow

This compatible build runs the Bluetooth companion role for the MeshCore app. The Attaky device runs the radio and presents a focused status interface, while the phone app provides the full messaging experience: chats, contacts, channels, and setup.

Status at a Glance

The on-device color UI is built for quick checks in the field. Use the controls to move through status screens for node identity, radio settings, pairing information, message count, and recent activity.

GPS and Radio Setup

With the LoRa + GPS expansion attached, the device supplies GPS position data to the MeshCore app and starts with LoRa defaults for the US and Canada region. Frequency remains adjustable at runtime from the app.
