Instructions for updating the meloDICEr module
- make sure no other devices in Atmel bootloader mode are connected to
  your PC; connect only one meloDICEr module at a time to your PC

- connect the USB mini-B receptacle of the meloDICEr to a PC using a USB cable
  (USB A plug to USB mini-B plug)
  The USB mini-B receptacle of the meloDICEr is not accessible from the front.
  It is located directly on the printed circuit board (at the top edge).
  If the meloDICEr module is installed in a rack, you will have to uninstall it
  for the update procedure und reinstall it after the update.

  do not turn on the power yet

- release button "TAP" of the meloDICEr module

- Windows should detect a new USB device now and may ask you for a driver
  (only the first time you connect a device with Atmel DFU bootloader)
- select "have disk" and point Windows to the "driver" directory in the
  software update package
- (after the driver is installed, the device can be found in
  "Devices and Printers" as "DFU ATXMEGA64A3U" and in the Device Manager
  under "Atmel USB Devices" as "ATxmega64A4U")

- start "update_meloDICEr.bat"
- the output in the console window should look similar to "screenhot_win.png"
- power down the meloDICEr module and disconnect the USB cable
