Issues uploading to ATtiny 85

Development Tools Uploading
1

I'm attempting to upload a sketch to an ATtiny85. Using a known good programmer that has been used before on this batch of chips. Have attempted to load to several chips and have gotten same error each time. I got a lot of information that I don't understand and googling it made the confusion worse. Could one of you fine people interpret this for me please.

The error code message:`

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: "ATtiny25/45/85, ATtiny25, Internal 1 MHz"

Sketch uses 1390 bytes (67%) of program storage space. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Global variables use 13 bytes (10%) of dynamic memory, leaving 115 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 128 bytes.

     Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.

avrdude done. Thank you.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

You'll see it in a moment.

Seriously. Read the error messages. They'll almost always tell you what you are doing wrong.

Well I was expecting a long involved troubleshoot but merely setting the IDE to program the right chip does make a difference. Note to self check the simple stuff first before dragging out the tool box and tearing it apart. Thanks for the assist. machinetech

And you gave yourself the solution? Feel free to figure out your next problem by yourself.
