Help with mod for Philips Toucam Pro II

Hi All; Any one know where to get a long exposure Mod for a Philips Toucam Pro II.


Thanks for any help

Bob,

I'm not certain if you are asking "Who can do the modification for me" or "Who has a weblink that does an excellent job of showing me how to do this myself". I don't know of anybody who does the modification for a fee. I do have a good link on how to do the long exposure modification:

This website goes into more than just the long exposure mod (The "Dead Bug" mod) but it is easy to figure out what you need to do even if you aren't going to add a Peltier Cooling Chip. I haven't done the modification to my TouCam Pro II yet but will eventually do it. Digikey is probably one of the best sources of buying the electronic parts; they do have a website and cater to us Do-it-yourselfers. Radio Shack is excellent for buying some of the parts and equipment too.

Otherwise, you should go to the Yahoo Group called QCUIAG (Quick Cam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group) as this is the place where "everything is happening" in webcam imaging.
