I was a bit miffed at not being able to use my Arduino too but I've already signed up. So I might as well go ahead with it.
I tried to upload this simple program with my arduino as an ISP. I used the ArduinoISP sketch that comes with the examples in the Arduino IDE.
Something is wrong.
When the makefile is set to atmega16a this is what happens:
avrdude -p atmega16a -P com12 -c arduino -U flash:w:main.hex
avrdude: AVR Part "atmega16a" not found.

When I change the device to atmega16 this is what happens:
avrdude -p atmega16 -P com12 -c arduino -U flash:w:main.hex
avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions
Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.00s
avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e950f
avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA16 is 1E 94 03
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
avrdude done. Thank you.
Any idea what might be wrong here?
