The SAO Explorer v1 is a Simple Add-on (SAO) board that breaks out the 2x3 0.1" SAO v2 header into a mikroBUS socket and a couple SparkFun Qwiic connectors. This makes it really easy to connect hundreds of different I2C breakout boards to a SAO host board—like a Supercon badge!—by quickly plugging in MikroE Click, SparkFun Qwiic, or Adafruit STEMMA QT boards . No soldering required!

It also has a 2x5 0.05" socket that allows a Binho Nova Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter to be used as an I2C controller (instead of a badge). The Binho Mission Control Software provides an easy-to-use GUI interface for quickly testing out new I2C devices without having to write a single line of code.
