We have them connected to the default PMW sources PMW1 and PMW2. Any ideas.

I have an idea, but it will take some explaining. I posted this information already once today in
this thread, but so far no reply. If you did follow Kevin's instructions exactly, then you copied the camera, tracking, terminal and serial port .c and .h files into a copy of the default code. You also will have edited the appropriate files with the corresponding # include statements. So far so good. But, did you notice that in Kevin's code, he had commented out the user_routines.c/Default_Routine call. This would prevent mapping of the PWM 1 & 2 to their corresponding joystick inputs. Well... if you did follow Kevin's instructions, then you copied all these files into a clean copy of the default code which does not comment out the call to Default_Routine and the PWM mapping takes place after the cameras code and overwrites the values with 127. Now please do not mistake this as a bash on Kevin, far from it! Kevin is AWESOME
. What I am saying is that a complete familiarity with how all these pieces of code fit together is crucial.
The alternative is to just load the camera.hex file Kevin included with his code and it should work. Then, just tweak the values in the terminal window.
