I want to upload a code using arduino uno as programmer and arduino nano as target. I have tried everything but nothing works.

Is there any error message? What code are you using?

I use the ps nee code and there is a eror message.

The program starts when the arduino gets power. But if i program the arduino with usb the arduino boots to slow.

Hi, @bluebirdsr71
Welcome to the forum.
This might help you to give us the info we need.

Can you post link to code?
Can you post image of your project with the two Arduinos connected.

Why do you want to program a Nano like this?
Wouldn't it be easier to plug the USB into the Nano and use the IDE?

Thanks.. Tom..
