    so, i came across a internal usb webcam. ive decided to make it a normal usb webcam.
    only problem is of course the wires are all kinds of colors.
    the ground seems pretty obviously the big black one, also i cut the cable and it was uninsulated surrounding the others.
    the others are:
    -silver (transparent insulation)
    -black (thinner than ground)
    -red

    obviously its not too big a deal, but im curious as to what everyones guess is. im thinking that the black and red are - & + data, silver being 5v. what do you think?
