To do so, we need to use a special connector on the Ploopy PCB called the **ICSP header**. It looks [like this](https://imgur.com/nh6e5tQ) (note the numbers around the connector) **TODO fix this**. Your PCB will probably just have six holes in the PCB, with no plastic connector prongs jutting out of the board.

Your PCB will probably just have six holes in the PCB, with no plastic connector prongs jutting out of the board. That's perfectly usable, and you won't need to add a connector in order to proceed. **You'll need a programmer.** A "programmer" can be many different things. We use an **Arduino Nano** and six pieces of jumper wire (copper wire, nothing fancy) to program bootloaders, but many different kinds of programmers can be used. See [this list](https://beta.docs.qmk.fm/using-qmk/guides/keyboard-building/isp_flashing_guide#hardware-needed) for more examples.
