Using this with MiniPOV
Well, I got it up and working, so I figured I'd test it out by loading my MiniPOV firmware to a black atTiny2313, so I wrote mypov.hex (following the tutorial), it said it succeeded, so I put that microcontroller in my MiniPOV, and nothing happened... My MiniPOV works fine with the 2313 I programmed using the MiniPOV itself... any ideas?

how did you connect it, are you sure you wired it up right and used the right command?
read the avrdude tutorial

this is probably not a usbtinyisp problem but a wiring problem

maybe?
Ladyada i think it may be a problem in your makefiles... could you setup a section in your makefiles to compile and one to program? so we dont have these problems? or maybe could you show how in these post, what code to add to makefile to seperate sections of programming and compiling to intel hex format?

You don't have to add any code. Just type "make mypov.hex" and that's what Make will do.what code to add to makefile to seperate sections of programming and compiling to intel hex format?
Then, when you have your programmer plugged in, type "make program-mypov". Make will recognize that the .hex file is up to date and it will only write the file to the chip.
Voila, you have separated the two parts of the process.
Here's a link to a nice little tutorial on Make:

It's a nifty utility that just about everyone uses, and the MiniPOV Makefile is pretty simple as these things go. It's definitely worth learning a little bit about using it if you're having trouble with basic stuff like this.
Hope this helps.
