i was using arduino uno to program attiny85, it worked firstly then i got this error

Failed programming: uploading error: exit status 1

i thought the problem is from the attiny85 or the uno so i ordered a new arduino nano and new attiny85 and same error,

i measured the voltage between the 5v pin and gnd = 0v, the voltage from gnd to any other digital pin = 0v (same output voltage in both board 0) is it normal?! if normal why i get this error while programming the attiny

note i can upload any sketch to any board without and problem

2

This is often caused by a wiring problem.

3

What exactly did you measure?

4

the voltage between vcc and gnd of the attiny
and the voltage between 5v pin of arduino and gnd
they are 0

i double checked the wire it is right 100%

5

If you disconnect the external circuit from the Nano, so that it's by itself - What then?

6

If the Arduino had no power, you would not see anything at all on serial monitor, you would not be able to open serial monitor.

So the Arduino must have power and perhaps your multimeter is faulty.

Do you know how to use a multimeter?

7

Can you show is the wiring please.

8

Iam sure my multimeter is working

Solder.
Just sticking header pins in the holes is highly unreliable.

I solder it and now i can see 5v but still same

i changed the ide version, restart the computer and still get this stupid error with both uno and nano!!!!!!!!
i lost my mind what is the hell!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid that soldering job is nowhere near good enough.

Adafruit had a good tutorial on Making a good solder joint. It would be worth your while to review it and use the techniques that are shown there. It will make your life much, much easier.

iam not going to waste my time soldering some pin greatly while the are already solder good enough to work
thank you

17

is not the nano cable is the micro usb charging cable?

this cable already upload the arduino spi sketch, and can upload any other sketch

20

And …. Don’t forget on some prototyping boards the supply rails are not continuous along their length

21

Maybe you should collect stamps or something.

22

Why this error happened to uno as well, should i solder something!

23

It is not going to be a data-only USB cable, there would be no connection with the Nano if that were the case, and likely the computer would not even recognize any device plugged in the USB port.

Have you individually tested the jumper wires? Those have been known to break inside the insulation where the end pieces are crimped on.

I would go back to using the UNO to completely eliminate the possibility of a problem with the soldering. If you want to keep using the Nano, I would check the connections by measuring the resistance between the pins of the attiny85 and the ICSP connector on the Nano, that will have everything except the line to pin 10, and let you know if the solder connection and wiring is good.

Hi,
Sorry but those solder joints are nowhere good enough, most of them aren't even connecting the pin to the PCB.

Spent some time with your soldering iron and let the solder melt over the joints.

What solder and soldering iron do you have?

Well the results are plainly showing that they probably aren't good enough to work.

Thanks.. Tom.. :grinning: :+1: :coffee: :australia:
