From the project
defcon 30 SAOs
This SAO is designed to add some blinky lights to your badge, calling back to the days of an external Courier modem screaming away on the internet.
- AA - Power, lights when 3.3v is present - OH - Flashes on I2C SCL activity - SD - Flashes on I2C SDA activity - RTS - Flashes on GPIO1 activity - CTS - Flashes on GPIO2 activity - SYN - Connected to a free pad on the back, you choose what it does
