Relative Servo Error On Connect

(different lengths, different random movements) At some point I noticed that the error occurs with all servos that are connected as "relative servo"! If I delete the relative servos and control them individually...

Is/Are There Compatible Cameras For The Iotiny
Is the IoTiny compatible with any other camera device on the market? I own two EZ Robot cameras and need to order a third, but the places the online stores where I generally buy my gear are out of stock. I'd like to get started rather than wait for however long it may take for EZ cameras to be back in stock? Any suggestions? Thanks. Scott
