Powering Moteino from Arduino

I am trying to power Moteino from Arduino. I connected Vin GND Moteino to Arduino 5v and GND, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Can you define "nothing happens" ?
What do you expect to happen?

The led indicator does not flash as it boots - if it does? But I connect it to the FTDI cable it boots.

Felix

Can you load a blink sketch on it and then power it from 5V again? Does the LED blink?
If not it may be related to this other thread, see that for details on what to try.

It woks fine when it is connected to FTDI cable. But I use the vin pin to connect to 5v of Arduino Uno, it does show any indication that it is working.

When I short the DTR to GND it blinks twice and does not continue the booting.

I found out that it is actually booting and working fine but without any blinking in the begining. That made me think that it was not working. Even I did not need to short DTR to GND! Thanks Felix
