TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: TINYDUINO GPS TRACKER + DATA LOGGER TUTORIAL Problem

Hi,
This sounds like a battery problem!
It reminds me of a similar problem I had when using a Lipoly battery sourced via amazon and not from Tinycircuits. The battery initially looked exactly the same and the plug fitted as well, but the polarity of the wires going into the plug was swapped around (took me about a week of on and off trial and error, charging with different chargers etc. to figure this out :-( ....!)
The proper orientation for the Tinyduino when the pug is pointing away from you (cable towards you) and the metal contacts are visible, is red(plus) left and black (minus) right (as seem on the images of the batteries in the shop section of this page!)
Hope this helps!
