Introduction: Desktop Recorder for Free
using old, dead wasted laptop
Step 1: Every Thing We Need Is Display
Get a scrap laptop even if its dead no worries at all
separate display for the laptop
Step 2: Dismental Display
take out all screws
and remove the upper panel
Step 3: Arm
get something strong but light for our camera's arm / holder
i used PVC sticks which are used basically in furniture very cheap but veryy strong
cut two pieces one your main arm (should have more length than other one)
secondary arm (less height)
you can cut arm according to your requirement
Step 4: Inches
these are usally located on the side panel of display to close and open the laptop
take those out
keep all the screw safely
Step 5: Get Those ....
on the lower panel of display you can find these
they are actually used to get screwed
as our inches will have small holes no bolt is going to get in so we will use this and make our screws to bolt
Step 6: Screw In
take both inches and fix those in that pvc using OUR bolt that which has golden back
Step 7: Arm
most of our arm is ready
get a place to fit that arm
Step 8: Camera Movement
get a pot resistor for our webcam's movement
Step 9: Fit
make a hole such that out pot resistor fits in as shown above
Step 10: Wiring
webcam will have 5 pins
whereas usb has only 4
usb color
data + green
data - white
vcc 5v red
GND black
usb has 5v output and webcam operates at 3.3v
add two diode IN1007 such that webcam can get its correct input 3.3v
two pins in camera pinout terminal will be same (use multimeter to check which are those)
those pins are GND connect it to the black of usb
---- vcc 3.3v------------diode------diode--------red----
----Date - ---------------------------------------white----
