This option is recommended when a regulated power supply with out a barrel jack connector is available. Take into account that using VIN pin should be made carefully since this pin does not have reverse polarity protection. Current is constrained by the regulated power supply and the onboard voltage regulator.

**Avoid this option** since since the risk of damaging the onboard voltage regulator is high. It can be done safely tough, just remember to apply a voltage to the 3V3 or 5V pins that are not higher than the input voltage of the voltage regulators.
