PCB I would be up for! Should help me out if I manage to get a decent midi keyboard again!

Being a student makes you generally unable to buy pretty things.

Am I correct in assuming that the pin headers there are for an ftdi cable? It can be used to update the software in the chip?

Indeed.  All you need is the 5V FTDI cable or equivalent.  For instance, I just had the pleasure to use one of these on a senior design project, and I have to say they work beautifully.  Of course, if you are the type who looses small things, this model may be a bad idea.

That's the same cable I used to program each one.  It will definitely work.  Just be sure to line up the black wire with the GND label on the six pin header.
