Important Notes:

• (1) If using GStreamer or KVM, please change to Hardware reset mode. Otherwise, the X630 won't be detected and there will be no video.
• (2) An accessory board (X630-A2) for audio capturing & reset, refer to ASIN: B09QMCH8TN.
• (3) Currently the software reset mode can only support RASPISTILL or RASPIVID.
• (4) If GStreamer is installed in Raspberry Pi OS, RASPISTILL & RASPIVID are no longer worked.
• (5) User Manual: wiki.geekworm.com/X630
• (6) Remove the software & hardware reset DIP switch for X630 V1.5 version!!!

FAQ

Q. What to do if there is no video output?

1. When use the PI-KVM, please set the dip switches at the back of X630 to HW mode(Hardware reset mode). Pull the HW switch to 1 and pull the SW switch to 0. (Our default mode is SW mode.) Please set the switches at power off status. (For KVM usage, you will need to turn off SW reset DIP switch and turn on HW reset DIP switch prior to connecting the CSI cable to your Pi4.)

2. Software reset uses GPIO 509 to reset operation through GPIO. Please refer to wiki: wiki.geekworm.com/X630-Software(updated on October 25th 2021)
