Raspbian 4.14 Lite with pre-configured DroneKit-Python API

Introduction

A custom made Raspbian Lite (kernel version 4.14) pre-configured with DroneKit-Python API development environment. Do note that at the current time of making, DroneKit-Python API only supported on Python 2. Thus, this custom Raspbian Lite release will be rendered obsolete and porting the user code from Python 2 to Python 3 would be necessary when Python 2 reach it end of life (EOL).

Installing custom Raspbian Lite

1. Download the custom Raspbian Lite image at here (alternatively you can access the download page from the Release page).
2. Install Win32 Disk Imager on a Windows PC and write the image on a blank SD card to be inserted inside Raspberry Pi 3 model B.
3. Install Advanced IP Scanner on Windows PC to find the Raspberry Pi IP address and use Bitvise SSH Client to establish the Secure Shell (SSH) connection between Windows PC and Raspberry Pi.
4. Execute sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade to update the Raspbian Lite to the current release.
5. OPTIONAL Update all the Python 2 packages (highly discouraged if you don't know what you're doing).
