It's been fun

Now that the Raspberry Pi Zero W is out, there's not much reason to use a WiFi Pants board. The Zero W is more compact, cheaper, and has out-of-the-box Raspbian support for WiFi. Also Bluetooth.

If you need battery power for your Pi Zero project, please consider the amazing LiFePO4wered/Pi .

Thanks to everyone who supported this project!

I'm using an ESP8266 with your hack in #ZeroPhone, and it's there to stay, trust me =)

Are you sure? yes | no

It was a most educational journey you took me on with the ESP8266/8089 hack - thank you very much!

While you may see no future for the Pants board anymore, the hairball lives on - it's still cheaper to take a $5 Zero and add the $2 module, lashed directly to the header.

Licenses, longevity, lights

WiFi broken? Update your driver!
