I recently read a post regarding slowing down 12 volt motors. The servos I am using are powered via 12vdc - they are super heavy duty. I'm using them for neck pan and tilt. Now for the 2 part question... Using my built in webcam on my laptop I am trying to track my face and have the servos move accordingly. Is this possible? I ask because the servos just kind of go bonkers and do what they want. I was going to wait until I had the actual ezb camera in hand before posting but...
Part 2.... So again is there a way to slow these servos down? I adjusted frame rate to max and to min trying to slow the reaction down to no avail. These servos get power and signal directly from EZB4 and the EZB4 is powered via 26amp hour gel battery. Again I was going to wait till I had the camera but my interest was piqued by the other post.
You'll get everything working, just stick with it...

It is very important to hover your mouse over the blue question marks to read what the settings do. I cannot stress enough that hovering over the question marks will save you a lot of time
We our a lot of effort into ensuring the software is well documented. I think it's easy to overlook the documented features in our software because people aren't used to it in other programs
Usually when you click on a "?", it just takes you to a place to search and even then it may not have the info you're looking for. It's kind of different for each little piece of the software to have it's own little page like it does in ARC. I don't think people realize its there or that it is as useful as it is because they just expect to get the same "?" routine so they don't click it.
Maybe you could find a way to make them stand out a little more. Because they are incredibly handy but easily overlooked. I just opened ARC and I had to look for them. . I know where they are.
Just my $.02. Invest it how you see fit.
To adjust your servo speed you don't have to call a script if you don't want to, in the "Add Control" window you can go to "Servo" tab and then add the "Servo Speed" control. You will then have to configure it for the servo port you are using and you can then adjust the servo you are using from normal speed (0) to painfully slow (20)
So yes, you can slow your servos right down if you'd like.
