SSH

The easiest way to work with an RPi is to ssh into it and use it as if it’s a server. For the latest RPi distribution, you could ssh into it by running

ssh username@RPI_NAME

Both username and RPi name can be found when you first set up the RPi

Testing out code

All you need to run this kit is python camera.py in a virtual environment. What I usually do is checking out the git repository on the RPi and test out functions from there. If I needed to change anything, I use vim to edit on cli.

You could also choose to mount RPi as a folder on your local file system using something like sshfs. This way you could edit the file on RPi as if it’s a file local to your system using any editor of your choice.
