last time i try to build arduino severino.. I use AVR usbasp programmer and i use program Arduino by using USBasp without bootloader. When i want to upload to i/o board,the program show error like this:
avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

is that problem in my builded arduino or my coding?
please reply as soon as possible.. i only had 1 more week before submit project... =( =( =( =( =( =( =( =( =( =( =(

If you get the same error with any sketch, it isn't your coding.

It means avrdude cannot talk to the programmer - if its configured correctly that means a hardware or USB driver problem - or it might be misconfigured perhaps...

If it used to work perhaps something has changed (USB driver, version of avrdude, etc etc).

Might be time to checkout the docs for avrdude and do some experimentation.

is that mean my arduino severino is the problem? is there any idea to avoid this error?. what does that mean change to -F to override?. any idea.. :~ :~ :~
