Arduino as an AVR ISP

Using Arduino Microcontrollers

Luciano_Carcagno:
I got a bit confused with this. I thought that the idea of using an Arduino board with the ArduinoISP example was to work as AVRISP. :~

...a programmer. "AVRISP" is a specific kind of programmer. It is also a protocol. The -c option tells avrdude which protocol to use. For an Arduino running the ArduinoISP sketch, the correct protocol is stk500 or arduino.
