I am trying to get a simple blink sketch to work on the attiny85 to make sure that the ISP and everything is working properly
Here's the reference i'm using for the wiring:
http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1229

I am using an UNO.
I uploaded the arduinoISP code attached in this message that was provided by Coding Badly
I selected the Attiny85 @ 8Mhz

When i tried to burn the bootloader, this is the error message that popped up. 

Code:

/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -C/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -pattiny85 -cstk500v1 -P/dev/tty.usbmodemfd131 -b19200 -e -Uefuse:w:0xFF:m -Uhfuse:w:0xD7:m -Ulfuse:w:0xE2:m

avrdude done.  Thank you.

any idea what's going wrong?  thank you

1. Open Arduino IDE. Open File | Examples | ArduinoISP.
2. Upload this sketch to you Uno.
3. Click Tools | Programmer | Arduino as ISP
4. Change board type in Tools |  Board | ATTiny85 (internal 8 Mhz clock)
5. Click Tools | Burn Bootloader
6. You can now upload your code through the Uno via File | Upload using Programmer

If you're already doing all of this, confirm your connections from the Uno to the ATTiny85:

1. +5V on Uno to VCC on chip
2. Ground on Uno to ground on chip
3. Pin 10 on Uno to pin 1 on ATTiny85 (reset)
4. Pin 11 on Uno to pin 5 on ATTiny85 (MOSI)
5. Pin 12 on Uno to pin 6 on ATTiny85 (MISO)
6. Pin 13 on Uno to pin 7 on ATTIny85 (SCK)

Good luck!

1. Open Arduino IDE. Open File | Examples | ArduinoISP.

The version that comes with the IDE does not always work on Linux / Mac computers (the /Applications/Arduino.app directory is a good indication that @Drc3p0 has a Mac).

Code:

avrdude: Recv: . [15]
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x15

Huh.  That's a symptom I've never seen.  @Drc3p0, you sure have a knack for getting entangled with strange problems.

I suspect the Uno bootloader is responding instead of the ArduinoISP sketch.  Make certain...

• The disable-auto-reset capacitor is put in place after uploading the modified ArduinoISP sketch

• The disable-auto-reset capacitor is making good electrical contact if, like me, you connect it directly to your Uno

I just tried the ISP  sketch you provided, and got the same error.
I am using Windows Vista, and Arduino 1.01

I tried the blink sketch

Code:

Next option was to try this modified ISP

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,108797.msg824488.html#msg824488   reply #39.

It worked without errors, so I believe there is an error in your ISP sketch, or shouldn't it work on a MAC ?

[Reply #5 on:]

...or shouldn't it work on a MAC ?

It's an earlier attempt to get past a Linux / Mac related bug in ArduinoISP.  The sketch in reply #39 is the latest (and apparently more successful) attempt.

Some details about the first attempt...

I had instituted this file change based off of previous instructions.  Not sure if it could contribute to the issue at hand...  I am using arduino Uno version 1.0
http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,116674.msg881917.html#msg881917

The following is how to apply the fix for MacOSX. This is based of AVR crosspack 20090319.

Extract ld.zip. This should give you a single extensionless file "ld".

Right-Click on Arduino.app
Click "Show Package Contents"
Due to MacOSx inability to merge folders, you will have to navigate to the correct folder yourself:
/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/avr/bin/

Copy and replace "ld" with the version from the zip archive.

The zip is attached to this post.
(Known to work on:
-Snow Leopard
- Mountain Lion
for other versions, please let me know if it works ok)

That takes care of the linker problem.

Instead of the ArduinoISP sketch you are currently using, try the one @Erni suggested in his post...
