Testing

Put the lens on its place and cover it up.Then put your mobile on back of projector (if it doesn't fits then cut a cardboard piece of it's size,put it into the back and then fix your mobile). Remember that it will on its full brightness for clarity of image and the room will be dark.Now enjoy with your homemade projector.
