SC-1 Toucam mod Questions.

Hello people,

Back again to pick the brains of those more wise.

I've just finished doing the first SC mod to a spc900 Toucam. All is well with the camera, and it continues to function as a normal web cam.

I ran some tests to see if i was getting the right values both from the USB-serial adapter, and the camera. What i have found puzzled me.

I have achieved getting 0-6v trigger from K3ccd LX function as required (i believe) at pin 6 of my dead bug, however there seems to be a 5 volt pd between pin 6 and the ground pin 7. (on the 'bug')

N.B I haven't done the amp-off mod to this camera.

1. Is this right?

2. Does the ground from the usb-serial adapter, ground on pin 7 (of chip) as well?

3. The usb-serial adapter gives normally (-12) - (+12v) signals. i made a mod to get 0-6v. Should i have done this? (the data sheet for the HCF4066B Say's it will deal with 15v signal inputs)

4. Does anyone know of a site that goes into faults with these mods?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Tanks
