We ended up using the pan servo to pan the camera, then use the data to the pan servo to run a motor that steers our turret. In effect, the turret motor keeps the camera steered to the target. When the pan servo is looking straight ahead, the turret motor stops. When the pan servo is off-center, the turret motor turns the whole business in the required direction to get pan servo looking straight ahead. If the tracker is searching rather than tracking, we disable the turret motor until the tracker acquires the target. You can test if the tracker has acquired the target by examining T_Packet_Data.my. Zero signifies searching; nonzero signifies tracking.
