Hi all,

I was wondering if the Atom can be powered by an external regulated 5V power source through the 5V pin or Grove connector 5V pin. I understand some other popular boards can allow this (such as the Arduinos), but I couldn't find any documentation on whether or not the Atom supports this too.

As I'm still a novice when it comes to electronics, I'm afraid of trying this out myself and risking damaging my Atom. Also, for space and cost reasons I want to avoid using the USB C connector to provide power.
