I am building an automated greenhouse using an Arduino Uno. I want to record the data onto an SD card using an SD Card Shield. However, when I stack the SD Card shield and then a base shield onto the Arduino, nothing happens. Both work perfectly separately. It is a solar powered project so this is why I will not be able to just collect the data on a computer, which is actually what I am doing currently until I can get the SD card shield to work. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
I'm unfamiliar with the Base shield you mention, but shield incompatibility is something you will have to watch out for and it sounds like you've found something here. When you look at the documentation for both these shields are there any pins that are used by both?

Specifically the SPI Slave Select lines. Do they clash with the other shield?
