Memes, am I right? sometimes ideas feel to small for a simple add-on. But not here, here a simple add-on for a simple add-on has to be 19mm x 19mm at most and feature a 1.27mm 3pin header. No added pressure of adding I2C. Just vibes.

There's another minibadge standard https://github.com/lukejenkins/minibadge that I seem to have taken inspiration from. The square makes things easier with board outlines. Google saintcon minibadge and you will get some nice examples.

We don't need that many headers to make some LEDs glow and 6 pins on the SAO can already be so confusing when you create your first blinking SAO, especially when everybody mirrors their images to help you (get you confused).

SAOAOs don't have that problem - its mirroring-protected pinout makes it a breeze to route. Ground is on the outside pins, VCC is in the middle. Don't get confused by the SAO adapter though, someone made a mistake with the silkscreen, because + - + looked cute and distracting.

Oh. They've encased him in Carbonite. He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is.
