Re: camera auto mode pwm contention?

Thanks for the replies -

Yes, we are using a dongle and momentary switch to activate autonomous mode. It has worked in other cases.

In essence all that we are trying to do is to capture the commanded PWM output of the pan servo to make some decisions on the relative position of the target - nothing fancy - but when we attempt to inquire the value of the pan PWM the value shows zero. Also when in auto mode the pan servo seems to be getting conflicting commands, the pan attempts to track but is rapidly reset. Based on my understanding of auto mode we are simply in the "while autonomous mode" loop with little outside interaction... will be at it again this evening - will post findings.
