Camera locked in "tracking", but not tracking

ACK! We were just getting the camera to track when suddenly it centers both servos and claims that we're tracking with a confidence with 254. We reloaded the default camera code files, but it still thinks that its tracking with infinite confidence at pan/tilt 0/0. When it happened, we were changing color values, and suddenly it froze. That's why we put in fresh default code

Could we have something stored in the controller memory that isn't being overwritten properly or something?

If you're using the camera communication and tracking code from Kevin Watson's site, the answer is yes.

The calibration parameters are stored in EEPROM, and remain unchanged even when the program is reloaded. You should probably use the camera and/or tracking menus to restore the default values.
