- Only compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W now
- Removed 3 standard USB-A 2.0 ports (Users have less need for this. Can directly use OTG port on the Raspberry Pi motherboard)
- Removed 4-pin header for external power swtich and always-on power option(Users have less need for this. Can can solder it yourself if needed)
- Smaller size, simplified use
- PS:
- 1. Shorting AL and ON will automatically power on
