Rob: I grabbed mjpg_streamer from sourceforge and ran your script,  
which seemed to have no effect. Do you just run it and then fire up  
the logitech_pantilt node afterwards?

Blaise: I tried a bunch of different values up to 1e6, none of which  
caused any visible movement.

I fired up the camera in Windows using logitech's software to confirm  
that the pan and tilt do indeed work, which they do.

Thanks,
