I have a pro mini setup for Arduino as Isp and have a heartbeat led so i know that part is working. I have the chip mounted on a small pcb and just matched the mosi miso sck and reset pins to the guide i was using. I can't get it to recognize the chip but i know ive got it hooked up right by the datasheet picture. So I think it might be because its a variant with different pins and might need different settings?
You don’t have a heartbeat when an Arduino is flashed with the “Arduino as ISP” sketch so that comment is a bit confusing. There are no changes required other then using the current pins which it appears you are doing. How are you powering the target chip?
What Arduino core are you using?

Yes i only mentioned the heartbeat to establish that the pro mini has the ArduinoISP program installed and ready... though I have never got it to communicate with the tiny. Once it said its the wrong device. I tried a couple different tutorials with diff Arduino builds and had problems getting either to work but this one i tried first
for a UNO even though i'm using a mini. BTW i used the 5v from the mini which is attached to my laptop.
Sorry my phone has a crappy camera....
