Hi all - Brand new to arduino. I have learned everything online up to now. Done multiple projects using the arduino, and have programed small projects on ATTiny85 AVRs with the Arduino as an ISP.

I am trying to do a light project that involves 24 LED light sections, which all need to be controlled separately. I understand writing code with the arduino (I have an ATMEga328, so I know that writing to pin 9 is actually pin 15).

As I have 24 sections, I thought I would try using the ATMega32. Again, brand new, so I am stuck trying to understand how to program the AVR via my arduino (there is no selection in the dropdown). I am also stuck in understanding the pinout of the ATMega32 (if I google the 328, I get tons of descriptions of which pins are D0 or D9 for example, but haven't found this for the 32).

I appreciate anyone that can help me learn how to program and code this AVR.

Thanks in advance - C

Remember the process you went through to program the ATtiny85 processors?  You will have to repeat the process for the ATmega32.

The first step is to locate a "core" for the ATmega32.  This is a set of C and C++ files that implement the Arduino core functions (like millis, digitalRead, etcetera).

ATtiny was a selection with arduino as an ISP...  A "core" is what I need to add to the aruino so I can select in the dropdown?

Yes.
