Any ideas?
We had a similar problem, but with tilt, we ended up having to set a jumper to reverse the tilt tracking on the camera. The 2005 CMUcam getting started PDF showed the header assignments, but the Pan and Tilt Reverse jumpers were reversed, but otherwise correct, so that PDF can help you place it, just remember to swap them.
