Pi 3 or Pi 4? Which Nebulae do I have?

The Nebulae v2 exists in 2 different hardware versions: the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B based Nebulae, and the Rasberry Pi 4 Model B based Nebulae. Why is this the case? With the ongoing chip shortage and supply chain issues, the Rasberry Pi 3 has become increasingly hard to source. In order to keep Nebulae available, we switched over to the Pi 4 which we were able to source.

From a functional perspective, both versions of Nebulae behave the exact same! The only time you do need to know the difference between the two versions is when you are updating/reformatting the firmware on your Nebulae. To determine which Nebulae you have, please see our graphic below:
