[Gmecm] MECAL reprogramming

[mark krawczuk]

hi, i got a peice of   veroboard, got a fret saw with a fine blade and 
carefully cut  the tracks between the  holes, or use a dremel.

then i soldered a double header strip over the cut tracks,this fits perfect 
into the memcal,
 then i got single strip header ,  and soldered  a length on each side of 
the cut about 15 to 20 mm apart  on the copper side, you most prob will need 
a fine tipped soldering iron to do this.

works well.
