[Motion-user] Logitech Orbit query

[Andy B. <an...@th...>]

Hi All,
I've managed to get my Logitech orbit:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:08cc Logitech, Inc.

device working, in terms of video capture, etc using the uvcvideo 
driver, and frames, etc work fine in motion, however for some reason it 
doesn't seem to allow the tilt/pan to work.
Using v4l2-ctl I can change/modify the pan/tilt values:
geostat:~# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video3 --get-ctrl="pan/tilt_(relative)"
: 0
geostat:~# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video3 --set-ctrl="pan/tilt_(relative)"=20
geostat:~# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video3 --get-ctrl="pan/tilt_(relative)"
: 20

So the driver/connection seems to be fine, however motion doesn't appear 
to detect the tilt/pan control:

Motion version: 3.2.8 beta release 1

my thread2.conf:
track_type 5
track_auto off
; track_port value
track_motorx -1
track_motory -1
track_maxx 0
track_maxy 0
track_iomojo_id 0
track_step_angle_x 10
track_step_angle_y 10
track_move_wait 10
track_speed 255
track_stepsize 40

Output of motion:

Then if I try to make a change via the http admin (track/set)
Pan 50, Tilt 50 : Set relative
I get: Track Error in the http admin, and in the motion debug:

[0] Failed to reset camera to starting position! Reason: Input/output error
[0] httpd - Read from client: Input/output error


Can anybody point me in the right direction to debug this?
