Hi! I bought a 3.7v 1000mAh single cell LiPo battery and a LiPo charger/boost converter (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10300), but I don't understand how I can wire the LiPo battery to my Netduino Plus. Can I connect the LiPo battery to VIN and GND? Since I am only getting 5V from the battery, I don't think VIN and GND will work. Where do I plug in the battery to power my Netduino? Thanks! Nick

Plug the converter output into "+5V" and "GND" power pins. Alternatively, for 'detached' scenarios, you could use the USB connector (pin 1 V_BUS, pin 5 GND).
