error signature atmega 32

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hey,

I have bought 2 atmega32-16PU to program with the arduino IDE. But when i try to program the chip with the programmer he says:

Yikes! Invalid device signature

What should i do to solve this problem?

The arduino IDE communicates with microcontrollers using a Bootloader program that should be burned on them in advance [edit: yes, unless you use external programmers].

Also, the model of the microcontroller should be recognized by the IDE through configuration files; for example, there are standard files for ATmega328P-PU (of the Arduino Uno), but I don't think the ATmega32-16PU has such files (maybe you can find something like that somewhere on the web).

I find a lot of things on the web about the atmega 328p but not about the atmega32

Exactly, because "normal" Arduinos do not have ATmega32 chips. There may be a way to make this work but it will require many adjustments, it's a bit like trying to fit a German car with a French engine...
