The piggyback board is supposed to have a pair of female headers mounted 
on the bottom to mate with the DE0 Nano.  Kip mentioned that he 
accidentally soldered _male_ headers to all of the PCBS.  It's an easy 
"thinko" to make and I came very close to doing the same thing when 
assembling mine.

Folks have suggested several methods for removing and replacing the male 
headers.  After thinking it over, I agree that yanking or breaking off the 
plastic carrier and pulling the pins one-by-one is probably the safest 
approach, albeit time-consuming.
