 The I/O connector has an unregulated power input (Vin, pin 10).  You can provide between 6V and 10V to this input and Pixy2's linear regulator will create the 5V power rail.
 Powering Pixy through Vin (pin 10) can result in more current being available for the RC-servos to use with the pan-tilt unit.  Connecting Pixy2 to an Arduino when Pixy2 is being powered through Vin results in **Pixy2 sourcing the power for the Arduino**.  This is sometimes preferable to the Arduino sourcing power to Pixy2 because the voltage regulator on some Arduinos cannot handle the current requirements of Pixy and the pan-tilt unit (two RC-servos.)
