# Which Raspberry Pi to use?

Help determine the right kind of Pi for the job.

Basically, this boils down to some simple choices:

| **Air or ground unit** | **Type of Raspberry Pi**                                                                                                                                            |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Air                    | <ul><li>Raspberry Pi Zero (W) if size and weight are important</li><li>Raspberry Pi 3 (+) if size and weight are less important</li></ul>                           |
| Ground                 | <ul><li>Raspberry Pi 3 (+) is needed, because the Pi zero is not powerful enough.</li><li>Raspberry Pi 2 could be used, but you'll quickly hit the limits</li></ul> |

So there you have it, if you don't already own a Raspberry Pi, the EZ-Wifibroadcast project currently makes most sense with the Raspberry Pi3 (+) on the ground and either the same or a Zero (W) in the air.
