I just wish they'd stuck an ESP8266 on there as well. They're dirt cheap and having built in wifi would be killer.



Oh god with Wifi this thing would be terrifying for hackers - just add a wallwart and shove it into an available electrical socket at an office building and you've got something that can sniff forever.


Can't a RPi Zero W already be used like that? And it's cheaper than this.


Yes, anyone interested in doing that already has oodles of options today. Adding one more wouldn't be a meaningful change.


Pinout compatible with something like https://shop.mikroe.com/wifi-esp-click


Wow, I didn't realize that there was no wifi on this thing.. that's a deal breaker for me.


Then go with the Beaglebone Black Wireless

exactly, not sure why it is missed, if there is network i will get one for sure, without network, no plan to buy it.
