legion48 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice one Phil. Where did you did you get the Toucam modded or did you do it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geppetto Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Where did you did you get the Toucam modded Did my own mate, in fact I've done four altogether and got away with it .My eyesight isn't up to it now though...If you fancy having a go, the newest webcam SPC900N is slightly easier to modbut still needs a bit of electronics experience.

anthony Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Just spotted this one. A grand image. Even better when you see that it is only 6 x 15 sec :shock:Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geppetto Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Even better when you see that it is only 6 x 15 sec Suprising isn't it...I had the gain pretty much flat out though as you can see fromthe noise on the image.I enjoy trying different settings and pushing moderate gear as far as it will go 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trudie Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi Phil,another goodie I see before me.About the spc900, where do I find out about getting it modded or I have a very handy hubby if instructions are available.CheersTrudie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geppetto Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi TrudieAll the information is herehttp://www.home.zonnet.nl/m.m.j.meijer/D_I_Y/spc900nc.htmStill a bit daunting but believe me it's easier than doing the same to a Toucam..HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
