Thanks, I did all that, it STILL seems not to work. I mean AVRstudio still seems to program it, however, after that it is always dead. For mechanical convenience (this is a breadboard) my unplugged programmer is still under the hood (y'know, connected.)
After Programming, I simply disconnected the circuit's power, took the USB out of the programmer and re powered the micro controller.
I mean, could I have hooked something up wrong and get that far? All my wiring seems right.
Gracias.
