			=== JTAG setup ===
			An adaptor needed to convert the 0.1” header on the Lynsyn Lite to the standard 2mm JTAG cable.<br>
			It is included in the box. Both connections are keyed meaning it should be hard to get it the wrong way round.<br>

			=== Power for the Lynsyn Lite ===
			The Lynsyn Lit is powered using the same MicroUSB port that is used for communication.<br>
			It's in the bottom left corner of the module.<br>
