I just used a single header strip, and cut off a section of 6 pins with a pair of wire cutters. It is not a right-angle header -- just a straight pin header. I don't know whether a right angle header would fit in the small space. I then laid the header on the back of the board to align with the six pads and tack soldered it in place. Here is the strip I cut a six pin section off of, and the section soldered in place (photos attached).

Good luck with the kit!

Cool, that's what I'm going to try doing. I've got a header strip that came with my Arduino kit (not sure what it was intended for), so that'll probably work.

Does the ATmega speak plain old RS-232? If so, I should be able to just cut up some IDE cable and stick a D-sub connector on the bare end.
