My question, what is the best way to change those PWM outputs to a tangible angle for the tangent function to use? Our team didn't get to test the camera much last year... So it's all sort of new for me. Obviously it has to be in radians, because, correct me if I'm wrong the tan function in C is based off of radians.

I've thought about ways to do this, and it isn't all too complicated... I just need to test it out, and make sure 127 would be the camera pointing parallel with the ground. I'll get to testing it, but I'm wondering what you guys have come up with for this?
