[solved]cmu cam woes... inability to target its objective

Allright, so we have built the light for the field (finally) and we have mounted the camera on the bracket.
we have also hooked up all the wires in their correct posistions and polarities, and the camera cn search for its target.

the only problem tho, as soon as it finds the target, it will tilt upwards. and to make theings worse, it wont pan. it is almost as if it has somehow aquired a different target, but as soon as we move the light the camera goes back to searching.

so basiacally, it will find the target, but it will always tilt upward away from the light, without any reason we can see. and yes, we have tried fillping the axes of tilt and pan. why is it doig this?
