Re: Camera servos too slow, help please

How can i make the servos move faster?
Plus, we are having problem with the pan servo. it clockwise and counterclockwise at hight speed (it looks as if the gear is shaking back and forth)
Any thoughts on that 2?
Thanks,

-open up the tracking menu by putting 't' into the "To Port ->" window of the IFI loader's terminal window and hitting the enter key.

-you're then going to want to change the pan gain, the tilt gain, and the delay. the menu should walk you through that process.

-once you find values that work for you, you should set them as your defaults

-open up tracking.h the values you're going to want to change are:

SEARCH_DELAY_DEFAULT
PAN_GAIN_DEFAULT
TILT_GAIN_DEFAULT
