Using Arduino IDE with avrispmkii and ICSP

qwertysimo:
There is no need to modify anything in IDE 1.0. Just

  • connect your AVRISP mkII six-pin header to Uno,
  • set Tools - Board - Uno,
  • set Tools - Programmer - AVRISP mkII,
  • make sure Uno has power.

You must upload using File - Upload using programmer instead of File - Upload.

Just read in the help files that while clicking upload will upload using the programmer. Looked a long time in the forums to figure out how to upload using my avrispmkii.
To communicate with the USB on Ubuntu I need to run arduino from the terminal using sudo. I don't care if there is a an easier way by changing the rules, every attempt I made doing that failed, it is easier to just run as sudo.
