Hello, I would also like to be able to use my isight by usb but in my case I only have 5 wires. It is also from a 2011 imac
I have found this diagram, I suppose that the camera is pins 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 but I connect them as it says there and I can not make it work
Is this a good question?

@skep_7 the schematic really does not show what cable goes where since you are missing the camera board etc. It would work if you know where the other end of the iSight cable connects to and trace those wires to the connector.
Based on the colors on your camera and using a standard USB cable I would try to connect it as shown on the picture

Yes now!!! I could already be going crazy with the pin out. The only thing I don't know if the camera is broken, because it turns on and off and after 15 seconds it is stable ...

@skep_7 So the hook up worked but it turns off ? What do you mean by after 15 seconds it is stable
yes, sometimes it takes a little longer or sometimes it doesn't work and stays off but yes
