Hi, Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
This problem is driving me crazy and I cannot for the life of me find a solution! Im hoping someone here can help me out.
I have a new ATMega328P chip which I want to burn the boot loader to using the Arduino as ISP sketch. I don't have an UNO (as shown in all the examples) so am trying to use my Mega2560. The problem I'm having is that I repeatedly have the same error message:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
....
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude done. Thank you.
Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
My process is as follows:
- upload the arduino as ISP sketch to my mega.
- Connect the mega to the chip, (using pins 50,51,52 and 53)
- Change the 'board type' to uno and the programmer to "Arduino as ISP"
- Hit "Burn boot loader"
- Receive above error message.
I have followed all the tutorials on this site and all produce the same error. I am using a 22pF cap between Reset and GND (also tried 5V and Reset). The target chip is powered. Ive tried the uno wiring arrange meant.
I believe the error may be that the arduino ISP sketch included with the IDE is out of date or doest function with the Mega, however I cannot find an updated version of it anywhere!
Any help with this would be awesome, its driving me a little bit crazy!
