The cable is about 900mm long, but as no cable for external power supply
is supplied with the tracker, I am using the cable that is used to transfer
images from the camera to my laptop, as the connection happens to be the same.It just occurred to me that maybe the cable is too thin, causing voltage drop, after all I imagine a cable used for transferring images wouldn't need to be able to carry much current.
I have just had a look at the tracker, and the power requirement is 4.5v @ 0.4amp.
I'll see if I can get a normal micro USB cable and see if that changes anything.
