Camera Troubles

When we tested, however, the panning code worked as anticipated, while the tilt code didn't work at all (well... it tried to work, but failed miserably resulting in a subtle twitching motion). It seems as though the camera is trying to change the tilt servo value and remain in home position simultaneously. I'd appreciate any ideas anyone might have to solve my problem. Thanks

There are a few FAQ entries discussing spastic cameras.
