Unable to burn bootload using 2 arduino Duemilanove boards

I am using method, described here:

Here is my sequence:

  1. Open IDE
  2. Load ArduinoISP sketch
  3. Connect Arduino using USB cable
  4. upload ArduinoISP (OK)
  5. unplug USB cable
  6. Connect second Duenilanove board as described
  7. Insert BLANK ATMEGA328 chip into second board
  8. Connect USB cable to FIRST Duemilanove
  9. Select Tools->Burn Bootloader/with Arduino as ISP

I got following error:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x15

I noticed those lines in ArduinoISP:
#define LED_HB 9
#define LED_ERR 8
#define LED_PMODE 7

Should I change those to 11,12,13 or should I use DIGITAL lines 7,8,9 instead of 11,12 and 13?

Thank you!

Leo.

Coding Badly - Thank you for suggestion. I will try it Tuesday.
Should I do all those hoopla's with pressing/watching/releasing RESET button?

For Duemilanove boards you should only need to add a 120 ohm resistor between RESET and 5V. Focus your attention on the second section ("The simple way..."). Permanently disabling auto-reset is not required.

I noticed those lines in ArduinoISP:
#define LED_HB 9
#define LED_ERR 8
#define LED_PMODE 7

Should I change those to 11,12,13 or should I use DIGITAL lines 7,8,9 instead of 11,12 and 13?

Those are signals that can connect to status LEDs, not the same as the 11/12/13 pins actually used by ISP programming. You don't need to connect them, and they don't need to be changed.

I suggest You this method http://www.geocities.jp/arduino_diecimila/bootloader/index_en.html

110 Ohm resistor did not work, but method, offered by zachwiej worked fine. Thank you SIR!

I'm happy that I could help You :slight_smile:
