The IR filter for the camera is removed and I have part of a floppy disk used for a visible light filter. All of that works well. My problem is that no matter what I do I can only get a small range of motion. With Yaw/ Pitch I can only get the the head to turn about 45 degress off of center in any direction. I'm pretty sure my model measurements are entered correctly. Is it possible that I made my clip too small? I tried to follow what was entered by default but when I was done I ended up with 20, 40, 85, 60 (numbers entered clockwise around the model). If it doesn't seem like this is a problem with my camera I am thinking about buying a trackclip pro.

I kept trying to do more to make it work better but the sensativity was down so it wasn't helping. I had fun getting my soldering iron out and making the clip even if it doesn't function.
