BliSwitch v1 4-port KVM switch

Front and back interface diagram, the control interface in the right figure is the remote control interface.A cable with one end being USB-A and the other end being micro USB, labeled with the word "KVM," serves as the control cable. The micro USB end is connected to the control interface of the switch, while the USB-A end is connected to the USB port of the KVM.

If you are using BliKVM software, from version 1.5.3 onwards, power on the switch and connect the cables before starting BliKVM, then enable and configure it through the web interface.

• If multiple USB devices are connected, use the command ls /dev/ttyUSB* to identify the switch's device name, then configure it through the web interface.

If you use PiKVM software, please configure it according to the following instructions.

1. Log in to PiKVM through SSH. The user name and password are root;
2. Uses the rw command on the terminal to change the system to a read-write system;
3. Edit /etc/kvmd/override.yaml. After the original content, add:

                   - ["#Input 4", ch3_led, ch3_button]
   

4. Use the ro command on the terminal to reset the system to a read-only system;
5. Use systemctl restart kvmd on the terminal to restart the service;
6. Enter the PiKVM web interface and click the "GPIO" menu. You should see 4 inputs, one of which has a green circle to indicate that it is currently selected. Click a different input to change the selected host.

If you want to use the blicube switch on other platforms, please refer to the following protocol

• The communication baud rate is 19200
• The message to switch to channel 1 isSW1\r\nG01gA
• The message to switch to channel 2 isSW2\r\nG02gA
• The message to switch to channel 3 isSW3\r\nG03gA
• The message to switch to channel 4 isSW4\r\nG04gA
• The message returned by the switch for the current channel is:G01gA,G02gA,G03gA,G04gA
