SAO stands for Shitty Add Ons, all explained here:

In 2021 I got my first SAO Conference Badge from Linux.conf.au (clickme for more)
That LCA board had 4 SAO ports and came with 2 little cute penguins that I hacked a bit:
one of them was then in charge of running a neopixel necklace
I got a few spare SAOs to attach to my heavily hacked LCA badge :)
Anyway, back to Pasadena Hackaday Supercon 2024, they gave us a 6 SAO badge also running a micropython chip:
attendees nicely donated a few extra SAOs to me, which I wrote code for
even got an SAO extender :)
I had to solder it from parts at the after party in the pub
Back to the conf SAO and code I wrote, here is the result:

This was loads of fun, thanks to the organizers! |
