Re: [avr-chat] my USBasp programmer does not work but the one from ebay is working

[YuGiOhJCJ Mailing-List]

While checking again my wiring I found that C3 was connected to pin 6 of my 
ATMEL ATMEGA8 instead of pin 7.
After that, I try again to call avrdude and the green LED blinked one time!
It is the first time it happens.

In this case, that is what I see from avrdude output:
$ avrdude -p ATmega8 -c usbasp -U flash:w:main.hex
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.

But now, I am unable to blink again the green LED.
I came back to the first behavior from my previous message.
That is a bit weired that the behavior of my USBasp changes.

Anyway do you have suggestions in order to find some clues about the origins of 
this problem?
