QUESTION OF THE MONTH: What version of the Raspberry Pi did you use in your last Pi project?

e14 Question of the Month

The Raspberry Pi single board computer (SBC) is one of the most favorite SBCs in the market today. It's been around for about 13 years and lists ten versions to date (Feb. 2025). While the Raspberry 5 is the most recent version of the Pi and some versions are no longer manufactured (e.g., 1A+, 1B, 1B+), there are earlier versions of the Pi still in use today.

    My last Raspberry Pi project used four Pi's - a PI 4B, a Pi 3B, two Pi Zero 2Ws and a Pico. I also tried a Pi 4 Compute Module, but it didn't make it to the final apparatus.

    I'm currently using the small size 1A+ as LoRaWan gateway, and AVNET's custom SmartEdge IIOT Gateway (based on the Raspberry Pi 3 Compute design). The 1A+ is powerfull enought to run a The Things Network…

    Where does Raspberry Pi Zero W & Zero 2 W fit in?

    I guess the Zero would count as a Pi 1, and the Zero 2 as a Pi 3, they share the same CPU.

    I have used pretty much every version of the PI from the original through to the PI4. No PI5's yet, this includes RP2040 based boards. My latest venture with the PI3B+, 4's and RP2040 boards as extended MCU to the boards running Klipper etc for some 3D printer builds I am currently recording and they are more than adequate,

    vmate Relaxed  Except that part of the allure of the Zero's is their form factor.  It isn't always about processing power.  We still love the 3B for its power properties.  Let's at least let little brother have a spot on the survey. Joy

    I have three projects using Pi3B+, one Pi4, and one Pi5 right now.

    Just reused a Pi 2 to make a TV testcard.

    I used to blame Covid19 supply chain issues for the 'recent' Raspberry Pi stock shortages.... now I see there was another factor at play.  Wink

    The closest that I came to using one was in the PiCasso Design Challenge.

    Close enough to the criteria in my books.

    I have an RPI5 , didnt see much advantage of it over the RPi4. Most of my projects are RPi3B, because Im a simple kinda guy.
