Hey everyone! I'm new to Arduino, so this might be a "dumb" question: is it possible to use the 5v pin on the Arduino to supply power to the Arduino? I know it is usually used for power output, but I was was wondering if it works as a power input. Thanks in advance! Charles Fries

Yes, 7-12V at the Vin pin will let the regulator create 5V.
