What version Pi with Farewell25?

1

I’ve been wanting a hypno for TOO LONG and the email announcing discontinuation finally pushed me over the edge. Can’t wait to get it!

As I read more, I’m a bit confused on which version of the pi it will ship with. The shop page says “pi3b+” but then lists a usb-c power supply which is only on the pi4 iirc. Likewise, the current hardware doesn’t have the composite out, which is also consistent with pi4. Last, I saw this post which also indicates pi4:

What version of the Pi 4B is included with the assembled Hypno? - #7 by cinema.av

Can someone (@SleepyRon?) confirm? I’m still learning so forgive me if I’m misunderstanding something.

I assume pi4 is the better choice due to processor speed and ram upgrades?

Thanks!

Hey there! Welcome!

Sometime last year Sleepy made the final switch back to pi3b+'s and they’ve been the most reliable. Full-size HDMI and Composite Video over 1/8" RCA breakout are retained and allow for maximum use-case. The processor and ram are negligable in this case. So this is what’s in the final run.

Hope this helps.

Hi! Yep, great info — I know how projects like this develop over time so very much assumed I was missing some context.

Thank you!!
