Hey everyone, I’m new to these forums, and pretty new to building electronics in general,
I have seen a lot of kipkay videos, and have been inspired. :] once I saw this video> YouTube - How to See in The Dark!I decided I have to make these. I have had some electronic experience, like I fix iPods, and have soldered a decent amount before. I couldn’t find the camera that is shown in the video, but I saw this> https://cgi.ebay.com/12-0M-Pixel-Webcam-Web-Camera-Vision-Mic-Infrared Night_W0QQitemZ260526878742QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Video_Conferencing_Webcams?hash=item3ca89cb016 and ordering it today, unless someone else has any good, cheap ideas. I figured it would be good mostly because it was designed for low light use, and already has the LED’s, I will buy a couple more though. I do not yet have the view finder, but I will have it in a week or so. I would like to power it all from one battery source, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out, like what kind of battery should I use and what components will I need etc. I read that a USB port puts out 2.5w of power, so I’m not sure what kind of resistors and what-not will be in the webcam. I will post pictures and updates often, just hoping someone can help me get stared really, and some ideas would be appreciated, thanks! feel free to email me at need4skis@AIM.com
