Hi,
After I placed the Neopixelring, The Ultrasonic and PIR sensor the servo’s started to jitter 
And I get error reports.
AI told me that’s a common problem which  inmoov builders face frequently.
And that the Arduino’s loose their power and connection while the servo’s are draining the current.
AI advice me to put a big cap on both Nervo boards, and a smaller one 1000uf and ceramic 0,1uf cap and the problems will disappear.
Can you confirm this?

Regards, Marina

Hello,
This issue is related to your USB Hub, because it cannot supply enough Amps to all your devices.
I use a powered hub on which all the devices are connected, arduino, camera, amplifier, etc...
You need a 4 Amps powered hub. (Don't trust AI about that big cap on both Nervo boards)
