Hello all.
I don't know if anyone here has had this problem but I've just put together my usbtiny and plugged it into my mac os x. Then after following the instructions on the miniPOV page for the software :http://www.ladyada.net/make/minipov3/software.html I tried to run this: ls /dev/cu.* in Terminal and nothing is found.
I've already installed the newest AVRdude and replaced the files avrdude and avrdude.config with the ones on the usbtiny page. I tried to just run AVRdude with the name "usbtiny" but it said it doesn't know what that is?
Anyone know the next step?

found it at /usr/local/bin/avrdude
This is going to make me look like an idiot, but I found the file in Unix, and I don't think I replaced that, but how do I replace it... i can't find the same folder in finder, is OS X trying to protect me?
Oh, and wish me a happy birthday, i'm going out to dinner, all the best to you m'dear.

I feel silly, i'm more excited about getting my usbtiny to work than getting older. Hmm, well maybe not //that// silly, but still, all i could think about at Siam Square (good tai resturant in ann arbor) was getting home to fix this and get my modEEG running ; P : )
I'll let you know how it goes, thank you for being so helpful.

kho dear, i must be messing things up, here's where i'm at
i tried the code you had:
mv ~/avrdude.conf /usr/local/bin/avrdude
but it said it denied my permission, so i sudoed it
and then it was still dead. It said that it had an unrecognized character at line 370 in the avrdude.conf file 'u', i checked it, it's the lowercase u from usbtiny
thinking i must have done something wrong from my last install, i went and reinstalled it:
[bilal-ghalibs-computer:~/downloads/avrdude-5.4] bilalgha% sudo make install
test -z "/usr/local/bin" || /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs "/usr/local/bin"
/usr/bin/install -c 'avrdude' '/usr/local/bin/avrdude'
Backing up avrdude.conf in /usr/local/etc
test -z "/usr/local/etc" || /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs "/usr/local/etc"
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'avrdude.conf' '/usr/local/etc/avrdude.conf'
test -z "/usr/local/man/man1" || /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs "/usr/local/man/man1"
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 './avrdude.1' '/usr/local/man/man1/avrdude.1'
[bilal-ghalibs-computer:~/downloads/avrdude-5.4] bilalgha%
and then i noticed that the avrdude.conf is in /usr/local/etc not in /usr/local/bin so i moved the version with your programmer refrenced in it there
but i still get:
[bilal-ghalibs-computer:~/downloads/avrdude-5.4] bilalgha% sudo pico /usr/local/etc/avrdude.conf
Password:
[bilal-ghalibs-computer:~/downloads/avrdude-5.4] bilalgha% avrdude -c usbtiny -p 2313
error at /usr/local/etc/avrdude.conf:383 unrecognized character: "u"
weird
