I salvaged a small webcam module from a HP laptop i had lying around. I believe the cam works and could be used through USB if i just solder a normal USB connector on it. The problem is, i dont know the pinout. It also has two microphones and i'd like to use them aswell.
I managed to find this picture after some googling around: http://i.imgur.com/AySSTSh.jpg
That has the same amount of wires my module has but with slightly different colors.
Here is a picture of the module i have: http://i.imgur.com/kpj7uZV.jpg
I also checked for a datasheet for that chip (the one on the right) but dint manage to find the exact one.
The ones i found use 3.3 volts so i dint want to risk trying out the wires with 5 volts just to see if the LED lights up on the board. Since it is an USB device, i believe it uses 5V though.
I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how should i go about trying to connect it up. Thanks
