Thanks, I've had a look at todbot blog which was very well documented.
However I now cant get the Arduino ICP to work. It gives the following message.
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
- Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override*
- this check.*
I've tried it with a Atmega8 and Atmega168 and get the same error.
I even milled it a nice PCB based on this one MEGA-ISP Shield and tested it for continuity through to the pins on each Atmega chip several times.
I'm a bit lost at what to try next.
