I believe we ran into this problem once before on some of the earlier batches of the breakout boxes.
There is a capacitor that is likely installed backwards.
Shoot moates support an email and I am sure they will gladly direct you on the best course of action to take and/or send you a new one!
Here is a picture with the cap installed incorrectly (bottom left hand corner, notice the white stripe is facing out).

If you desolder and flip that cap around, you should be good to go, if you aren't comfortable with doing that, definitely let me or Moates know.
