* Raspberry Pi Zero W
** Pi Zero W has WiFi and one micro-USB port which is all that is needed for headless running.
** Using a faster Pi might speed parts of the installation process, but are overkill for actual ‘production’ running.
** It can run a web server, but that will slow it down.
*Raspberry Pi Three B Plus
** This faster Pi is NOT needed for running Cumulus MX, but it will cope better if you are asking MX to do lots of processing.
** Pi Three B Plus has Ethernet socket (supports wired link); a HDMI socket for audio/video to TV, or computer monitor; a standard audio socket for external microphone, or speakers; 4 standard USB 2 sockets for weather station, mouse, keyboard, USB stick, or other storage device; plus other connections (e.g. camera).
** This might be better if you also want to run a web server, or are on a remote site so you do want to be able to plug in a monitor and other peripherals.
