QT - SAO | Hackaday.io

Details

Some easy wins here, but the pinouts are not as similar as one might hope.

Still, poc on a perf going well. Just might need a lil more assistance from hand soldering or jumpers for the variances

Riffing on davedarko's Schedule SAO

Davedarko was way ahead of me. He has a perfect little board that breaks out the pins for an add-on module.
The modules I have been eyeballing have the pins swapped, so I stole his work and modified it including removing the nice calendar silkscreen and adding a header for swapping data and clock. I also move vcc to the end because more of those are available on the adafruit modules I have coming. I sent off an urgent order to OSHpark since I am in PDX and I think they can pull this off in time.
I have no idea if there will be room for the headers on front or on back. May need to solder blob it.
beats deadbug by a smidge I think...
Sorta better

Enamel wire helps, though half perf half bug is not a great look.
Woah, this is uglier than the postit

Amazon brings me things to test soon
Adafruit order

ordered an assortment of adafruit i2c devices to play with.
Dangling headers off a badge and connecting wires all over seems like a horrible idea. Proceeded anyway.
Inspiration struck

ordered headers, wire and some perfboard
Drew a terrible schematic

I sort of expect this to be either a duplicate of someone else’s work and I’m just making notes for myself, or I’m just lazier about this hack than anyone would have ever imagined.
