parts necessary
I am trying to build my own small tv b gone. I have the chip the oscillator 1 IR LED and a switch. I have the oscillator outside pins hooked up to AVR pins 2 and 3 then the middle to gnd. I have the switch from reset to ground and i have the LED positive to AVR pin 5 and negitive to ground. I hook power up and hit the switch but it does not work. Am i missing somthing? Do i have to have the ceramic capacitor? Thanks in advanced.

Well, firstly, you won't see anything. It's IR light, so you can test it with a camera to see if it's lighting up. Secondly, did you program the chip and burn the fuses properly? Also, I would try hooking the LED up to pin 6 instead of 5, on my chip, there's more power from that pin. And if you could, I would pick up a transistor for this, it'll make it so much better.
