Mega 2560 as ISP for ATTiny

Here is a photo of my setup (without the USB cable).

It might be difficult to tell from the photo which pins are attached where, so for the SPI pins:

  • Red to 52
  • White to 50
  • Blue to 51
  • Orange to 53

The top of the breadboard has the red rail connected to +5V. This feeds the ATTiny and the line that runs through the two resistors and back to RESET. The resistors are 10ohms and 100ohms in series. A 10uF capacitor is also connected to the RESET line and then to the ground pin below 53 (a green wire) on the Mega2560. The setup on the left is the three LEDs on pins 9, 8, and 7 for feedback from ArduinoISP. The ground rail on the bottom of the breadboad grounds out the LEDs and the ATTiny.

And just for the sake of completeness, the desk is made of oak.
