[oopic] OOPIC and CMUCAM

Hello all,

I'm intending to build some kind of object following robot, perhaps a
colorful ball. Tracking with the cmucam is a piece of cake, as long as
the lighting is right. The camera automatically rotates the servo.

However, I need some way for the oopic to know where the camera is
pointing and move the base station accordingly.

I can think of 2 ways:

1) Have the camera talk directly to the oopic. From searching online,
I couldn't find much to help me.

2) Have the oopic read the position of the servo that the camera is
mounted on.

Does anyone have an idea how to have the oopic talk to a cmucam? I
know it's possible, I have the final report for a project that used
an oopic with a cmucam connected serially, but there aren't any
connection details.
On the other hand, is there any way that I can tap into the control
line of the servo to know where it is pointing or what angle it's been
given?
