Issues with atmega32 chip.

Development Tools Uploading
1

I am using arduino uno as a programmer and atmega32 as a target. I uploaded arduinoISP sketch with the programmer "AVRISP mkll". Then hooked up a 22 uf capacitor on reset and ground. I connected to atmega32 with vcc to vcc(pin 10 in target) and gnd to gnd(pin 11 and 31), pin 10, 11, 12, 13 to target pins 9, 6, 7, 8 which are reset, sck, mos0, mos1. Opened blink sketch with pin mode 13 output, selected board "atmega32 8mhz" then selected programmer "Arduino as ISP", and uploaded using a programmer.

Then this error shows up: avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

What did I do wrong though?

If you're going to do that then please be considerate enough to add links to the other places you cross posted. This will let us avoid wasting time due to duplicate effort and also help others who have the same questions and find your post to discover all the relevant information. When you post links please always use the chain links icon on the toolbar to make them clickable.

Device signature = 0x000000 usually indicates a wiring problem. You should have a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor on the power lines of the chip. You should also do a Tools > Burn Bootloader before Sketch > Upload using Programmer. The reason is this will set the fuses of the microcontroller according to the board you have selected. Note that if you set fuses for an external clock source and you have no external clock source then you will "brick" your ATmega32 until you connect a clock source to it.

YES! Thank you so much, this error was storming over me now it's resolved! :slight_smile:
I also deleted that stack overflow post.
