How to wire up an Arduino Duemilanove as an ISP programmer:

Note, although the documentation says you can’t use a Uno as an ISP programmer, you can. I’m using a recently bought Uno, with the Arduino IDE v22 and I did it. I even made up a prototype shield to program ATmega328p IC’s in a ZIF socket, complete with a 6-pin ISP breakout.

Schematic is here;

Note, I don’t know if this will work for your specific application, but you can indeed use an Arduino as an ISP programmer.

@ jyoung Ok so I found the ArduinoISP.pde. I loaded the sketch to the arduino, but when i run AVR-burn-O-MAT It dosent see my programer. I do not have it connected to my radio i’m just trying to get it all set up before i connect it. what program are u using to talk to the arduino to relay the .bin or .hex files?

I’ve done it both with the Arduino IDE (by selecting the ArduinoISP option) and also with avrdude. In that blog entry I listed, down near the bottom is the output from when I used avrdude, so you can see what kind of arguments you need to use.

The ArduinoISP simulates an STK500v1 programmer over serial at 19200 baud.
