Hardware is still built with processes that are 10-100 years old. Software got layers of abstraction decades ago while hardware never did. Atech is Lego for real electronics. Snap modules together, describe what you want it to do, and we generate the firmware. Idea to working device in minutes. No datasheet deep-dives, no soldering, no wondering "why doesn't it work?"

Hybrid deterministic modules with generative system logic is a sharp split. How do you version module firmware so an LLM regen does not break existing setups?

@borrellr_ Thanks! We write our own custom firmware for each module.
Genuinely unique idea. I've spent way too many late nights hunched over Arduino boards, scrubbing through bad YouTube tutorials trying to build stuff that should not be that hard to build. Looking back in a few years this idea is going to seem sooooo obvious - hardware shouldn't be harder than vibe coding. Loved the vision so much I just vibed my first hardware on the site. Can't wait for the kit to show up and test the upper limits?! I wanna vibe build freaking rockets 😅

@christian_vestergaard Rocket module coming soon!;)

The framing of hardware never getting the abstraction layers software did really lands. Curious about the boundary you draw between what the chat layer generates versus what is baked in at the module level. When I add a new sensor module, does the model see the schema and rewrite firmware on the fly, or is it more declarative than that?

@najmuzzaman Thank you and great question! I’d call it hybrid deterministic on the module level and generative on the system level. Plug in a temp sensor and say alert me if it exceeds 40°C, the module firmware is baked in, the logic tying it to your alert system is written on the fly.

This is such an amazing way to bring the playfulness of LLM into the world of hardware design!
Good luck with the launch!
