Re: Camera to motor setup

Servos are position-commanded. A pwm value of 127 is center, 0 is one extreme, 254 is another.

Motors are velocity-commanded. Pwm 127 is neutral, 0 is full reverse, 254 is full forward.

You have to translate between the two. Using an encoder or pot and a feedback loop is one way.
