Re: Camera servos too slow, help please

Try loading the default (not default camera, just 2007 default) code and using the built-in one joystick drive to control the camera servos.

That's a good way to test if it's a hardware problem or a problem with your cam code.

If it's still slow, try two different servos and two different PWM outputs.

Basically what I'm saying is try to isolate and test every possible cause of the problem until you can for sure identify what the cause is, then re-post, and we'll go from there

Agreed. The cameras should not be responding slowly, especially with pretty standard code (nothing wacky) and standard hardware (no custom circuits.)
The servos usually aren't bad unless if you fried them, so it probably is the code (just a guess.)

Another longshot. Are your servos the same brand/model as listed in the KOP? I remember reading somewhere that some of the parts *could* be different then listed in the KOP depending on availability in foreign countries. The the servos are different, maybe they respond differently?

More crazy ideas,
Jacob
