6v 300mA water pump activated by PIR using Arduino Board - 6v issues

Great! So I will be able to use the same power source (battery pack) to power the Arduino too correct? Or will I need a separate power source for the board? Trying to keep the unit as a whole as small as possible Then I can connect the PIR to another output and write the sketch from there?

Also, by what you are saying, you cant control the VIN pin?
