avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
This error can be caused by incorrect wiring between the programmer and the Arduino Nano board. You should double check that all the connections between the two are correct.

avrdude done. Thank you.
Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1
I'm still getting this error even after checking all the connections and making sure they are correct
Hi @coder-gw. Please tell us exactly which Arduino board you are trying to burn the bootloader to. Please be as specific as possible as some Arduino boards with similar names have significant differences and the forum helpers can only provide effective assistance if we are aware of which one is being used. If you aren't sure how to describe which board you are using, you can provide the link to the online product listing you bought the board from and we'll proceed based on the information found there.
Please also provide a detailed description of the reason you are attempting to burn a bootloader on this board.
I am trying to burn a bootloader on the ATMEGA328P U from an Arduino Uno R3 that was made in Italy (I got it in a teaching package last summer, I don't know where it was bought from).
I don't have a particular reason for burning the bootloader to the chip other than to experiment and learn from it. The first project I was going to do was a timer using a 4 digit 7 segment display.
Arduino as ISP, see the attached images to see the circuit. (apologies for the random wires used, I don't have all of them at the moment so I couldn't colour code it)
Looks like you do it from cli, or is that from the IDE console?
For a start, get Minicore (for your 328P IC). If you use IDE 2 it can be installed from the Board Manager. **
I was just going to say you could use Arduino as ISP, but check After that you need to choose it as the programmer. Now, and this is crucial, you need a small cap between Reset and Gnd on the programmer Arduino, or the programmer will be reset instead of target. And that's it. To transfer sketches you use Upload Using Programmer instead of Upload.
** All the settings are in the IDE, so no fiddling with fuses directly is needed.
I started by first loading up the code from File > Example > ArduinoISP to an Arduino Uno R3.
Next, I disconnected it from the computer after the code uploaded.
I then constructed the circuit. In the later cases, I added the capacitor as you recommended.
I checked the circuit, I don't know how easy it is to fry a microprocessor and I don't want to find out.
I plugged the circuit into the computer (the computer was connected to the Arduino, the Arduino was part of the circuit that connected to the microprocessor)
I went to Tools > Board and selected the ATMEGA328
I made sure the programmer was set to "Arduino as ISP."
Can you try this: Remove the capacitor and upload the Blink sketch from the examples. You don't have to disconnect the wires between the Uno and the 328. After that, does a LED blink on the Uno?
