Thanks Windell. The problem was not the cable it was using arduino as the programmer. As soon as I changed it to avrisp everything worked.

Excellent!

OK. I bought and built the ispShield and the 2313 target board. On the target board I installed a 6 pin ISP header with the leads facing upward and a 20 pin ZIF socket. I put positioned the jumpers to disable autoreset and to provide target power.

I then connected the boards with your 6 pin cable. On the ispShield I oriented the ribbon cable connector with the red stripe connected to the triangle on the board. However on the target board the red stripe is opposite the triangle on the board. Is that correct or should the ISP header be installed on the bottom of the target board?

I put the attiny4313 into the ZIF socket on the target board.

I brought up the Arduino IDE and selected an Arduino Uno as the board then loaded and uploaded the ArduinoISP sketch. The pulse LED then cycles.

I then ran avrdude with the following command line on my Mac:
avrdude -c arduino -p t4313 -P /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 -F -U flash:w:TinyMatrix.hex:i

I have to use the -F switch because the device signatures don’t match. The signature returned is for the atmega 328 in the UNO I think.

Here is the result:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

It looks like the code is not being programmed.

Any idea what is going on?

One other thing, when I load the sketch the pulse LED flashes until I try to program the device and then it goes off and stays off. The Prog LED never flashes.

Thanks

I wish I had known this before I purchased the programmer as the AtTiny4313 is what I bought the programmer for. So can someone tell me exactly how to connect up this programmer to the AtTiny4313 externally on a breadboard for example.

[craiglindley]

OK so I’m completely clear. I cannot use the Zif socket on the ISP Shield to program an AtTiny4313?
