All went well. The main problem I had was tweezers of low quality. Also, during assembly, some screws was to tricky, so I needed to magnetize screwdriver and for that purpose I used - a speaker :)

Great tutorial, in deed. David just saved Christmas for me and my family.

Diagram reminds me on diagrams found in old TV-s. Kudos to HP!

You noob. You probably think CO2 is deadly for the earth and man is the cause of global warming. Typical uniformed human scum... A volcano pumps out more CO2 in 1 blow, than man does all year. 100% fact. Volcanoes go off all the time!

Man is 2% of carbon emissions. Mother nature is 98%

You enjoying sucking those media and Nazi school lessons? You love Al Gore? The guy who wants to globally tax all citizens for breathing?

CO2 is just a part of my concern.

During production process, high quantity of water is used. As most of process takes part in China, industrial water aren't filtered before they are released in waterways. Digging the ore for components also makes environmental impact.

All this "green product" stuff is marketing. When it comes to environment, yes, I'm some kind of Nazi. It makes my electricity bill small.

I know that resistors and diodes need only two pins. That also confused me a little bit before. But for 640 x 480 the sensor's aspect ratio isn't appropriate. And for a proper CCD or something similar there are too less pins. Even the very low-res IR-sensor in a wiimote is connected by 8 pins. Maybe its sort of a photodiode array.

Ok. At one moment, I thought that maybe it have serial bus or something, but it is too small. I think morcheeba is right.

No, a VGA camera would have a lens assembly and a different looking sensor. An ambient light sensor usually is just a LDR, a light dependent resistor which decreases its resistance the more light falls onto it. Or it is kind of a primitive solar cell which transfers the light to electric current detectable by the device.

I know how foto-sensitive elements works very well, but THIS particular sensor have more than two(three) output, as photo resistors/diodes or cells have.

Some phone uses VGA camera as light sensor. Is the same case?

There's nothing environmental in device which use materials from all the world, parts from USA, Japan, Malaysia, assembled in China using electricity generated by coal power plant and shipped over Pacific - by ship.
