It is not difficult if you have a bit of experience with a fine tip
soldering iron, you just have to solder in four wires (including ground) to
connect to for initial programming.   The advantage is that they are
incredibly cheap (mine cost £12.50 from ebay). For anyone interested you
want a Home Hub 5A and instructions are
