hi all,

I'm having a bit of a problem programming a blank atmega328 with an arduino as a isp. I have two Duemilanove board (source and target) and set up as shown in http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP

I'm using Arduino ver 0022 and click on tools, burn boot-loader, w/arduino as isp. and i get the following error

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I know the source board is good, tested it with the blink program just before I tried burning the boot-loader.

I've also tried loading in the ArduinoISP sketch, then tried burning the boot loader and get the following error

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x15

is there something I'm missing?

While this seems to be a popular idea... a lot of people have had issues with it for various reasons.

Might I recommend a fun kit: http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16&products_id=46&zenid=021caadb68595e9669364605aa5ded93

This is really the way to go if you want/plan to program some AVR's. Well, more than just one... and how can you say you will never want to program more AVR's... :o
