If you want to store calibration values, MAC addresses, non-secure access tokens, or other unique identifiers, EEPROM storage is a great option.
Power input. Adafruit Learn says the onboard regulator accepts 3-5VDC and safely converts it down; power it at the same logic level as the microcontroller.
3.3V output from the onboard regulator. Adafruit Learn says up to 100mA can be taken from this pin.
Common ground for power and logic.
