Programming Convertor 16w to 6w

From Merlin Systems Wiki

This is used for programming the Mega8 in a Miabot Pro. (also the 'boot processor' in the MSCcam.)

This convertor goes 'between' your normal programming lead (parallel or AVRisp) and the Mega8 connector: The normal lead plugs into the convertor, and the convertor has a 6pin plug which just plugs into the 6 plated holes in the pcb.

NOTE: to get the 6-pins to connect reliably, it may be necessary to apply a steady sideways force to the convertor while programming.
