It's not any adjustment in our mounting either. The camera is responsible for centering the centroid in the field of view regardless of how the servo is mounted. The only way it can point straight is if we shim the lens about 15 degrees.
We found that the pan.servo was positioned to 135 not 128 when the centroid was @ 80 which places it exactly in the center of the field.The packet:
T 80 120 60 100 100 140 32 158 135 131

clearly shows the mid mass of X is @ 80 which is 1/2 of the width of 159. Changed both the camera moduleand UbiCom board.... same problem..

WHAT's UP WITH THAT ????
