Note
I have been considering making this project for a few years now, but have been pushing it off because I have had issues. I started off using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and a CSI-to-HDMI input module and abandoned the project for a few years after that.
I also used a full-size USB to USB-C cable, along with a Y-Splitter (2 male to 1 female), and USB power blocker, all of which I had from my previous tries.
Recently, I have purchased a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB from my local Micro Center. I connected this to my existing hardware.
I used the PiKVM v2 DIY version and downloaded the image from the official website.
Materials Used
- Raspberry Pi 4 2GB
- CSI-to-HDMI (input) adapter
- USB Splitter (2 male to 1 female)
- USB power adapter
- USB-to-USB-C cable
- microSD card
- MicroSD card USB adapter
- Other computer (Any OS with Raspberry Pi Imager)
- USB power blocker
- USB extension cable
- Ethernet cable
- Micro-HDMI-to-HDMI cable
- Monitor (or capture card to see on another computer)
Setup
I plugged in the USB splitter to a power adapter and the data end to the other plug (with a power blocker and extension cable). I then plugged in a USB-to-USB-C cable to both sides. I then plugged in the USB-C cable to the Pi. Finally, I plugged the ethernet cable into the Pi and my network switch.
Connect the Micro-HDMI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor or capture card and see the IP address on the screen.
After flashing the image to a 64GB microSD card, I set up the Pi and connected to the web interface. I was able to see the display input, but I was not able to use the USB input.
In a future post, I will share the solution I had. Until then, please leave any suggestions you have in the comments.
