Wire up the Thumb Drive You will need to solder wires to the USB positive and negative connections. Have a look at this USB pinout page for information or just meter the outside pins to determine the polarity. Some helping hands will make soldering the connection easier. I would recommend using some helping hands that have a magnifier built into them. The third connection that you need to solder to is the LED output that was identified in the last step. One word of caution here, I soldered to the surface mount resistor to access the signal and it worked fine but broke off a few minutes later. Even though the gauge of the wire was small it had enough leverage to pull the solder and pad from the surface mount device. I had to scrape the solder mask from the trace and solder to that. Once I confirmed that it was working I poured hot glue over the entire device to make sure there was no more strain on any of the connections.

Really Cool – like these old car radio adapter for portable CD-Players 🙂

this looks nice but i hate such things. things with no purpose like spinning those things. if you want to make indicator for reading or righting use led or something
but what would be cooler is to right data on actual video Tape
in old days as i know they were writhing data on thin magnetic Tape so it is possible but it is interesting how much data can be stored on VHS Tape?
sorry for bad english

ArVid can store 4-5gb on a VHS tape without compression. It was popular in Russia.

Some say you can get up to 20gb on a vhs tape.

I found your project and it is very cool in my opinion! Was looking for information to make a VHS with a 1TB HD instead of pendrive and use it plugged into a smart TV.
In my case, I think about doing without rotating disks (lack of space) and static LEDs (LEDs flashing will disrupt watch the movies with the lights off).
