We’ve been hinting at it for a few months now, running a series of articles on SAOs, then a Supercon Add-On Challenge. We even let on that the badge would have space for multiple SAOs this year, but would you believe six? Way back in 2017ish, Hackaday’s own [Brian Benchoff] and the [AND!XOR] crew thought […]
