Laptop Webcam to Micro USB to Android Phone

[thaynecearrachkerr]

I have been searching for two days trying to find someone who has done this *and* has the same wires as I do. So far, I have found nothing. I just want to attach the webcam to the phone and use this "USB camera" app to use the phone as a display for the webcam. (I am making an endoscope for my wife's work as a biologist.)

So, there are five wires at both ends of the removable cable that plugged the webcam to the laptop. I cut open a few USB cords and the color coding does not match up. I know there is a way to do this because I have found a lot of "how to's" when searching (but they all wire to Standard USB pinout (Type A) -- none to micro USB (micro-B)).

I can post pictures if it will help.

Thanks in advance!

Your webcam is either USB or Micro USB and you need to connect it to a phone using micro USB. Am i right?

If so, would not a simple USB to Micro or vice versa work instead of re-wiring things?

The webcam is technically USB, but didn't have a standard USB connection. It has two plastic connectors (one on each end). You can see in the picture. I cut one of the plastic connectors off to wire it to a micro USB connector. The micro USB connector is needed to plug into the phone (OTG).

Thanks!

Please, someone has to know how to wire a micro USB?

I figured out the power wire on the usb cord, but I don't know which wire that goes to on the webcam. I have not figured out the other wires.
