Isight Macbook 13 convert to USB and run like a charm

I made my own iSight taken from the 13" MacBook.
The cables are very delicate but (after 4 failures) I managed to make it work and have it's delicate cabling safe for moving.
For this I mostly used the display cable's unwinded sticky textile-like material.
I made a magnetic mounting to my monitors, the tilt is not yet adjustable but I have a plan just need the time.
I worked with two cable color versions:
  • orange/orange/blue/brown
    black/red/green/thin red
Next plan is to make the HD camera work taken from the 2011 iMac.
It has much simpler cabling.
 
Hey, if you ever update to Mountain Lion, could you tell us if it's working?
Because I wanna buy one, but I wanna be sure that it's gonna work under 10.8
Thanks! :)
 
Edit: Never mind. I'm pretty sure I was soldering some shielding instead!
 
I have managed to burn my isight camera because i have connected it wrong :(

I got one more, but really need to understand how to connect it. Is there anyone that can maby help me out ?

Thanks!
