Noisy Camera Tracking

Guys, I just hooked up my camera. I hard wired the leads to the camera circuit board (confirmed to be working) and set up a camera tracking widget.

When I have no servo movement selected in the config, the camera seems to track my hand just fine, however, when I check off camera track and set my neck and head servos, the processed display fills with a LOT of tracking delta and it doesn't seem to clear up. The "head" goes a little bizzerk as it tries to rectify.

@cyberdude, please expand on your question

@DJ, Sorry. What I meant to say is that the robot is not moving when I am attempting to get tracking to work. The head nods, and the neck rotates, but the chassis is not "rolling".

When I tried your script, The head would move up and down, the processed video display would be full of delta pixels for a moment, then clear. So not sure if that is the preferred result.

I will try a few more experiments on this end, this morning and report back. It seems close, just not sure why, when I wave my hand in front of the camera, the tracking goes nuts and fills with room noice.

It certainly "sees" my hand moving, but is "confused" by the tracking noice that gets generated around it, filling the frame.
