What is Attaky
Module, Frame, Complete Build — the three ideas behind an Attaky, and how the pieces fit together.
An Attaky is a small handheld device you build from interchangeable parts. The whole system comes down to three words: modules, a Frame, and the Complete Build they add up to.
Modules
A module is a small functional board. There are four kinds, and a build uses one of each:
- Core — the host that runs the firmware, drives the screen, and reads the controls.
- Expand — the capability: an off-grid radio, a media kit, a tuner.
- Control — extra input, like a keyboard or a gamepad (optional).
- Power — the rechargeable battery that powers the Complete Build.
The same Core works with any Expand, any Control, and any Power, so you mix and match to get the device you want. See Modules for the full lineup.
Frame
The Frame is the structure that holds a chosen set of modules together as one device and gives it its shape — a flat pocket handheld, a deck with a keyboard, a desk station, and so on. The modules click together through a shared set of connectors; how that interconnect works is described once, in full, on Frame & Connections.
Complete Build
A Complete Build is a fully assembled device — modules, Frame, and connectors, ready to
use out of the box. That's what you actually buy: one Complete Build, such as Mesh Deck Junior 1.0.
Builds are grouped into five Series by what they're for:
- Mesh — off-grid messaging over long-range radio.
- Retro — handheld retro gaming.
- Radio — FM / AM listening.
- Agent — a pocket AI assistant.
- Cyber — keyboard-first portable control and custom firmware projects.
