Ez-B V4/2 Comm Upgrade And Ez-B Iotiny

I would like to know if the comm bords of both IoTiny and the new v4/2 are the same? If yes, why does the v4 upgrade cost more than the IoTiny Thanks.

Thanks DJ and Jeremiah,

I will be using them in client mode and it sounds like this is a good thing. I will go with the IO TINY when they are available ( any dates?). I would like to order two.

The IO TINY sounds like a way better solution than the esp8266 for small IOT applications etc. The esp8266 has some serious WiFi connectivity issues anyway.

Jeremie, you mentioned with no other items connected to the IO TINY that the current consumption is about 70 MA. Is this true when WiFi is on and communicating in client or AP modes?......Rick

Well I did some quick measurements and found that it doesn't matter if the IoTiny is connected via AP mode or Client the current draw is the same. With these more recent measurements I found that it's actually ~50mA of draw (without peripherals).

If you started to play audio it would go up significantly higher (depending on volume) but as-is the current draw is pretty low.
