Attiny45 bootloader burn

Hello,

I have been trying to burn the ATtiny45 w/ ArduinoISP bootloader onto an ATtiny using the guide here at http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1229
although I havent' been able to successfully burn the bootloader, I always get this first

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

and then using the same port I get this:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x66

any help?

did you bypass the Arduino reset with a resistor or Capacitor? I usually forget this the first time, and it is one of the causes for this error.

I've tried before but not with at 10uF cap. Does it need to be 10uF exactly? I only have 1uF and then 22uF caps.

22 will do.

hmm, still not working. getting the 0x66 again.

Difficult to say what's going wrong. Perhaps you can post a photo of your circuit, so we can make sure the hardware is all good, then we can look at the software from there. Do you have the status LED's on pin 7, 8 and 9? did you update the delay(40) to delay(20) in the ArduinoASP schetch? look at the tx, rx, and pin 7,8,9 LEDs when you hit program. what do they all do?
