Questions about cam

[magical hands]

Hi! It was really difficult for me to get my servos looking for a colour and infact i don't know how to do? Last few days I have been trying to move the servos using a small counter code, but problem is its too slow. Therefore I have few questions that some of the experienced programmers can answer.

1) How do you enable auto servos, so that servos automatically move until cam detects the assigned colour value.

2) How do I make the cam work in an autonomous mode? Are their procedures that I have to recall?

3) Does anyone have diagram of how Pan servo and Tilt servo can be mounted on cam?

I hope to get response from everyone! I have a request for all experienced programmers to contribut their ideas. Thank You!

contains a zip file with a nice pdf file with some basic information on the camera- I think that it explains the functions(it's in the last chapter, so don't repeat my mistake- I grew bored after a couple of pages and just closed the document )
Also it explains how to mount the camera inside the grey box from radoishack, but it says nothing(or mabe it does, but I didn't see it) on the mounting of servos to the box. It's easy enough with no instructions,anywat(just make sure that the center of the both the turning axes cross each other in the center of the lens(well, it doesn't have to be the center, but it would look neat if it did ) hmm... I wonder if I followed this advice myself(or, more exactly I wonder if I gave this advice to whoever did all the mounting)
