FlashCatUSB Voltage Output Mod

Just wanted to share some pics of how I modded my FlashCatUSB to add pin headers to the underside voltage outputs (should consider doing this with future hardware revisions)





Added a little hot glue to insulate/reinforce the bottom pins (keeps them from snapping off the pads)

 
Actually its not perfect, I am having problems using it to supply voltage when flashing with SPI.

When adding voltage to VCC I get a dimly lit red light and a non lit blue light. I suspect it could be a bad fuse because it works for a short while after running the hot air gun over the board.

This modification ensures low load ...
Maybe with the memory off the board
you can use this modification.
In board, never ...
