Meshtastic for Attaky

Off-grid messaging and location sharing over a long-range LoRa mesh — no cell signal,
no internet, no fees.

Meshtastic turns your Attaky Core + LoRa/GPS into a pocket-sized mesh communicator. Devices
relay each other's traffic over long-range LoRa radio, so a group can exchange text messages
and share location across open country with no cell network, no Wi-Fi and no subscription —
ideal for hiking, events, the outdoors, and anywhere coverage runs out.

Highlights

• Off-grid text messaging over a self-healing LoRa mesh — every device extends the others' range.
• Position sharing — GPS + BeiDou shares everyone's location across the mesh.
• Four-way screen orientation — landscape or portrait, normal or flipped, chosen right
  on the device; one firmware, remembered across reboots.
• One-button screen control — short-press the POWER button to sleep and wake the display.
• Clock without a phone — takes time from the mesh even before a GPS fix, or set the
  date, time and time zone by hand on-device.
• Long range, low power — reaches far beyond Wi-Fi/Bluetooth on a tiny power budget.
• Private, encrypted channels — AES-encrypted group chats.
• On-device messaging — read and send messages and browse nodes right on the screen.
• Optional keyboard module — type messages without reaching for a phone.
• Pairs with the Meshtastic apps — Bluetooth to iOS, Android and desktop.

Talk where there's no signal

LoRa is a long-range, low-power radio. Because every Attaky in range relays for the others,
a handful of devices form a self-healing mesh that can blanket a trail, a worksite or an
event — far beyond what one radio reaches, with no infrastructure to set up.

Know where everyone is

The built-in GPS (GPS + BeiDou) shares each node's position across the mesh, so you can see
where your group is — distance and direction to every node, right on the device. For the
full map view, open the paired Meshtastic app.

Hold it your way

Pick any of four screen orientations — landscape or portrait, either way up — straight from
the on-device Settings. The choice is stored on the device and restored every boot, so the
screen always matches how you carry it. A short press of the POWER button puts the display
to sleep and wakes it again, and the device keeps time from the mesh even indoors, with a
manual date, time and time-zone setting for when it is completely on its own.

Standalone or with your phone

Read and compose messages, browse the node list and check status right on the device's
screen. Add the optional keyboard module to type comfortably, or pair over Bluetooth with
the official Meshtastic apps (iOS, Android, desktop) for the full map, contacts and settings
on a big screen. Screen orientation is set on the device itself.
