First, we recommend that you read Raspberry Pi camera applications document

For Hardware Reset - Starting RASPISTILL or RASPIVID once then reboot your Raspberry Pi.

Use GStreamer Tools

You need an accessory board (X630#X630-A2) for audio capturing.

Please refer to CSI-2-Software if you are use the Raspberry Pi Bullseye OS

Use RASPISTILL RASPIVID

Only for OS before Rasberry Pi Bullseye OS such as Raspberry Pi Buster OS

1. Update & upgrade the raspberry pi system (It will take a long time depend on the different country)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

2. Enable camera module (the camera is enabled by default in Raspberry pi Bullseys OS)

sudo raspi-config

Navigate to 'Interfacing Options' and hit Enter. Now select the 'Camera' option, and hit the Enter key to enable it. Select “Finish” and select to reboot your Raspberry Pi.

3. Edit /boot/config.txt to add the line (that will need sudo, and use 'sudo nano /boot/config.txt')

dtoverlay=tc358743

to the end of the file.

4. Reboot. If all is well you should get a /dev/video0 device.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /dev/video0
/dev/video0

4. To take a photo with the X630 Module

raspistill -o image.jpg

Here, "image" is the name of your image that will be saved to your Raspberry Pi

5. If you need to take second image, then you will need to reboot the Raspberry Pi and execute the "raspistill" again

sudo reboot

5. To record a video with the X630 module

raspivid -o video.h264 -t 10000

Here, "video" is the name of your video and "10000" is the number of milliseconds.

7. If you need to record second video, then you will need to reboot the Raspberry Pi and execute the "raspivid" again

sudo reboot
