that didn’t make a difference, I’ll check the connections.  The board does do a flash every time I attempt to install new code.  So it makes it seem like it’s getting some sort of input, but now all of the LEDs flash the same duration.

I don’t think so, I’m using the soldering kit version of Octolively.

Perfect, now it seems to be working (I think), but I still get this at the end of it all:

avrdude: Device signature = 0xffff00

avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA164P is 1E 94 0A

         Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

make: *** [install] Error 1

Is this alright?

Back again.  This time I’m having troubles with installing the program.  I keep getting

avrdude -p m164p -c avrispmkII  -P  -v -e -B 4 -U lfuse:w:0xC2:m -U hfuse:w:0xD9:m -U efuse:w:0xFD:m -U flash:w:octolively.hex

avrdude: ser_open(): can’t open device “-v”: The system cannot find the file specified.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

make: *** [install] Error 1

I have edited the make file with the appropriate usb port number, but left the rest the same since I am using a USBtiny and the MHV AVR Tools.  I can only assume that avrispmkII is not the appropriate programmer, but I do not know which one is correct for me.  There didn’t seem to be something there for the MHV AVR Tools.

Thank you, you have been very helpful!

Ah ok, I think I just miss understood the videos.  I haven’t bought my Octolivelys yet, I just wanted to make sure it could do what I wanted it to do!

I guess another question would be if I could create a “universal” button?  By simply wiring one button to all of the different boards.  Or would that create some sort of crazy voltage drop?  I assume it’s just a normally open button, so the micro-controller simply looks for a 1 as opposed to a 0, meaning it wouldn’t matter if it were receiving power from a different board.

[kflinderman]

Now I assume if I just make it the same state on each board, I wouldn’t have to press the button on each individual board, correct?
