Hey all,
I'm trying to program an attiny84 with my Arduino Leonardo as the ISP.
I loaded the ArduinoISP sketch onto my Leonardo, and the connected my attiny84 to the leonardo with a 6-pin ISP patch cable, as in http://i.imgur.com/VRWs60I.jpg
The green LED shows power from the +5V line, and the blue led is attached to pin 2 of the attiny84 (pin 0 in Wiring according to http://BANNED/14a176S) so I can tell if the code is working.
When I try to upload this through the ISP, I get the error:
[tt]
avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny84
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
[/tt]
which is no good :(
After some googling, it seems like there was a problem with the Leonardo as an ISP because of the reset pin (http://BANNED/1zsAthB). So I followed the instructable and rewired to get the above picture (with reset going from pin 10 instead of the ISP header).
Still no dice, though :(
I'm trying to doing this on Mac OSX, and have had some trouble with using avrdude (as documented in another thread). Does anyone have suggestions for what may be wrong here?
I can upload normal programs to the Leonardo just fine.
thanks!
Leonardo not working as ISP for Attiny84
