Powering the Leonardo Pro Micro

[bigone5500]

I looked at google and on arduino's site and I haven't found out whether or not I can power this thing with a 9v battery right into the micro usb port.

I see there are RAW, GND and VCC pins. Is this where it is powered?

I jumped the gun and asked a question too soon. I have found my answer.
You must sweet talk to google to get what you want...LOL!

You edited your post too soon!

Just in case though, I wouldn't put 9V on the USB plug... You can use Vin though. 7-12V recommended.

edited your post again bigone5500 just to make the conversation look sensible

Ohhh and as Gryd3 said .... NEVER put anything other than 5V on a USB line
as one day you will forget what you have done and will kill a bit of gear

cheers
