i think we may have figured it out tho... i did a bit of reading and found out that the EEPROM overrrides the set values in the program if you are running the bells and whictles version.
so this means that it is probably tracking a default color or something.
i dunno... any mre obvious explanations then what we have come up with?
Make sure that you didn't mount the camera upside down, load the camera code without modification and see if it works. If you're going to mount your camera upside-down, change both pan and the tilt rotation signs from the tracking menu and try it out.
