I have seceral brand new Atmega32a microprocessors, and I have boards already made, and programming started, and I cannot get it to read the chip ID. When I use any programer, it says the chip is ready to accept data, and then it exits, giving me the following error:

I really need some help with this. I am 2 months behind in my product development, and I am completely stuck.

Thank you in advance, for all your help!!!

Do you have an external voltage source supplied to the chip while you’re programming it?

Vtarget is coming back 0.0 V

Just for details, which “programmer” are you actually using, what wires do you have wired in and how is it and the device powered?

No, but, I was able to upload normally last night. I used the Arduino as a ISP. It all of a sudden worked. I will still try to use the USBISP soon, and will try  
that.

Thank you!!!

Hello, Robert!

I was able to get it to work last night late. I tried the Arduino, as the ISP, and used another, new breadboard. I was able to get it to upload.

Thank you!!! I will keep open this thread, as I may need further assistance, using the USBISP. I have 2 different ones, one uses the Attiny2313, and the other uses the Atmega88 or 8. I cannot get the the drivers to see it, although it DOES give me the connection sound when I plug them in. THAT is a problem, I will address in the next few days. I want to make sure, I can get the I/O’s working correctly. I am doing that at the moment.  
Many Thanks folks. I wish I had known about this forum earlier. You’ve been a great help.

Blessings…
