README how to fix the bug on board v1.0
There's an error on the v1.0 version : the SPI programming pins are NOT the labelled MISO/MOSI ones (see atmega64a). To use that version, cut the 2 traces on the top side of the board (the red lines circled in yellow) and put 2 blue wires from PE0 and PE1 to the SPI programmer.
