I actually managed to make ours track a target today. It was a great moment.) Im sorry to hear about your camera though.

If you look at the PWM hook up, you will see that ground is the outside pin, hence, I would guess that if you failed to heed the many boldface warnings, and hooked up the PWM in reverse, little would happen, as there is no closed circuit.
