How long is the USB cord from laptop to tracker ?
Remember we are only running 4.8 volts DC not 12 or 24
Could be voltage drop in the cable if it’s longer than 1 or 2 metres. USB charger cords are usually only 1 metre long
A long cable will increase the current draw and cause some heat especially at extra low voltage
Cheers
