Jerky Tracking?

Well we've set up the camera, and using LabVIEW it tracks beautifully, it's wonderful, but thats driving its own servo. Kevin's code does a great job of searching and finding the light...then goes haywire.

Once locked the camera starts violently pitching itself back and forth and up and down until one of the PWM cables pops.

We're using the code verbatim, so....I'm not sure...the mounts assembled right.

What else should we check?

Thanks.
