I'm new at this. Im trying to program the ATMEGA 16 with a USBASP V2.0 by LC Technology. I'v downloaded WinAVR to program there and my OS is Windows 7 64 bits. To connect my USBASP with the ATMEGA 16 I'v used both diagrams:

 

 

 

The problem starts when I test in the cmd the next avrdude line:

avrdude -c usbasp -p m16

When I run that I get this:

 

avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update
.
avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

 

How can i fix that? Thank you.

Pin 1 is the RED stripe (ie your pin 9), or at least it should be!

You could have damaged the programmer or could  be something else. I don't do AVRdude so someone else will need to chime in.

 

Meanwhile you need to tell us as much as possible about your set up, a circuit diagram and a photo would be good in case there is another hardware problem.

Do you have female/female breadboard wires? You could use them instead of the cable, so that you can be absolutely sure of the connections.

It's only the MCU connected to the usbasp. I will leave some photos:

Didn't work either. Is it possible that the first connection damaged the MCU?

You need to connect all the power pins (AVCC and the corresponding GND), though this is probably not the cause of your problem.

Pins 10/11 and 30/31 need +5v/gnd connected to them and there should be 100nf caps connected across both sets of pin pairs.

Do you also know AVRDUDESS software instead of AVRDUDE? it is a somewhat more luxurious version of AVRDUDE

avrdude is the key piece of programming software but it is command line driven. because the kids of today don't have the brain cells to remember a few command line options a lot of folks have written a GUI wrapper to run on top of avrdude to make selecting options easier in drop lists and so on. AVRdudess is one of those. But all these programs are still just invoking avrdude.exe so at the end of the day it does exactly the same thing. What quite a lot of these GUI interfaces do is "hide" the messages output by avrdude so you have less idea what's wrong when things don't work.
