Hackaday Superconference
The Supercon 8 edition whose official badge centered on six SAO ports, Raspberry Pi Pico W, MicroPython, I2C experimentation, CH32V003 proto-petals, and a functional SAO contest.

The Supercon 8 official badge used a Raspberry Pi Pico W and six SAO ports as an I2C playground, bundling touchwheel, LED petal matrix, blank protoboard, and CH32V003 I2C proto-petal add-ons with MicroPython examples.
Lifecycle
Hackaday documented four included starter petals: capacitive touch wheel, spiral LED petal matrix, blank protoboard, and CH32V003 I2C microcontroller proto-petal.
The Supercon 8 Add On Contest pushed entrants toward functional SAOs using I2C, GPIO, sensors, displays, radios, and other active peripherals.
The repository README describes MicroPython setup over serial terminal, Thonny, or VSCode, with boot.py/main.py demos and memory-style I2C read/write patterns.
The main badge exposed six SAO connectors with individually accessible GPIO and split left/right I2C buses for experimenting with add-on peripherals.
Operational history
The entry remains image-free rather than copying Hackaday article images or repository photos without a complete image provenance record.
The catalogue records technical facts and outbound source links while withholding local images and avoiding license assumptions.
