Help noob with AVR-PG2

Hey All,

I just got my programmer from Sparkfun, and I am working through this tutorial:

http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutori … ials_id=93

I have 5vdc and ground to my AVR, and 5vdc to my programmer. I also checked that I have a connection from MSOI, MISO, RESET and SCK on my bread board and inside of the AVR-PG2. Everything should be working, I thin i have a config issue or something on my PC and I have been searching for an answer for over 3 hours now.

I installed Giveio.sys, here is the output

C:\WinAVR\bin>status_giveio.bat
status of giveio:
Type:           [0x01] Kernel driver.
Start Type:     [0x02] Automatic
Error Control:  [0x01] NORMAL: Display a message box.
Binary path:    \??\C:\Windows\giveio.sys
Load order grp:
Dependencies:
Start Name:
ok.

When I run ‘make program’ this is the output from avrdude:

C:\Users\etx\Desktop\blink_1MHz>make program
avrdude -p atmega168 -P lpt1 -c stk200    -U flash:w:blink_1MHz.hex

avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.


avrdude done.  Thank you.

make: *** [program] Error 1

I’ve set my Parallel Port in the BIOS to ECP+EPP, and I am running Windows Vista 32 bit with sp1.

Any suggestions, I’m lost. :frowning:
