You can order the Skull of Fate SAO at www.tindie.com/products/makeithackin/skull-of-fate-sao/ Etch-sAo-sketch SAO is available at www.tindie.com/stores/machineideas/ I don't think Thomas Flummer has a store, but you can build your own from hackaday.io/tf
I'll have to look around for any uploads of the talks etc. They're always really interesting. Thanks for the post. I've been slacking with my Flipper Zero. I moved & been so busy I haven't even updated to the new firmware leaving Xtreme behind for Momentum. So much to catch up on.
Supercon was awesome! I hope to go again next year. 10:19 - I spent so much time incorrectly debugging why I couldn't use I2C to read the ADC values on the etch-sAo-sketch! I was sure it had to do with incorrect registers or power or something. At the end, it was just the fact that the ADC values from the two knobs are also connected to GPIO1/GPIO2 which were being pull up/down by the badge. 😭
Great question. SAO stands for a lot of things, such as "Simple Add On", "Supercon Add On", "Shitty Add On", etc. It's basically a small add-on that connects to the badge. Originally these add-ons just had artwork. Then people added power to them, so they could do things like blink lights. Then they added I2C so the badge could potentially communicate with the SAO. Then they added GPIO1/GPIO2 so that the badge using WS2812 LEDs could easily extend the lights to the SAOs. In some cases, the SAO can have similar computing power to the badge! At Supercon 8, one of the themes was to try to use either the GPIO pins or I2C pins on the SAO instead of having something that just used the badge as a power source. For example, the badge can read values from one SAO and then tell that value to another SAO, so pressing on the Touchwheel SAO caused a reaction to display on the Petal. At DEFCON conference, they sometimes have electronic badges and then you can find SAOs that connect to your badge. Creating an SAO that blinks a light is usually a good starter project, so at the DEFCON soldering village you often see people building their first SAO from a kit.

A lot of their content was a Live stream, so most of the videos are at www.youtube.com/@hackaday/streams

What is SAO?
