Camera tracking problem

I've gotten the camera to work, and it is tracking the target, and everything is connected properly, but every time the camera locks onto the '07 Vision Target, it centers on the light, then tilts upward. It then centers back on the light. This cycle repeats. Should this happen or are one of the parameters incorrect?

Re: Camera tracking problem

Are you using Kevin Watson's tracking code? You might have the vertical servo reversed; there is a parameter in Kevin's code that will change the sign, reversing the direction of that servo.

Good luck
