Hi 👋, we make nifty electronics!

@cdwilson.dev (+ friends)
New @raspberrypi.com Pico #SAO Host boards just came in!

I made this breakout board so I could quickly play around with SAOs using the Pico, Pico W, Pico 2, Pico 2 W, etc.

If I made these available to buy, would anybody want one?

Got the PCBs in for the 🧼 #SAO last night lol

This one started out with me trying to stick a SAO connector into an actual block of soap…turns out it's REAL hard to get things to stick to soap. So it became a PCB instead.

Finally got this PCB assembled and tested with a #mikroe Click board that has a BME280 sensor. The backlit logo experiment turned out pretty neat looking!

I don't actually have a real conference badge (yet), so I put together a quick “SAO host" #rpi #pico breakout board.

NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS!

(even after years of doing this, I still get a rush of excitement whenever new PCBs get delivered!)

This one is a fun weekend side project for the @hackaday-feed.bsky.social #supercon #SAO contest.
