    Why? What is wrong with using the standard 12V connector? I don't believe it is possible to power it through another way.

    For an application that I'm working with the barrel connector cannot be used

    On the header pin there is a Vin pin can this be used?

    No, it is an Arduino pin and I even doubt it would work for the Arduino. It definitely is no 12V. Edit: it is 12V.

    The GPIO pin is the same as the barrel connector. It is a smaller diameter pin and may not handle the current.
