Hey all! It has been a long time since I have posted anything. So I thought I would get back on. Anyway, I read about a hack to be able to see Infrared light on a USB webcam on hack a day. So I sucessfully completed the hack. But now I would like to build an IR emitter to place into the webcam body so as to use it as a night vision camera.
So basically, I am looking for a simple, but yet powerful IR light circuit that can run off of the USB 5v. DC power running to the camera. Is there a simple way to achieve this?
I used a stereo remote in a dark room with the cam, but obviously it sends short bursts, and I need it to be constantly on.
Any help will be appreciated!! Thank you!
