Well the first thing is, are you using a ATMEGA328P or did you grab a 168?

Here is the syntax for using the -F flag.

AVRDUDEFLAGS=-c avr109 -p m328p -F -b 115200 -P com4

Notice it is not /com4 just com4 that also could cause a problem.

thanks for the reply Ralph, I have the 328 and the / was inadvertent as i was trying all formats. once changing the flags line to the F flag it runs and verifies 10258 bytes of flash and says thank you. only now I get no output to the lcd or the computer - any ideas? also what was the significance of the F flag versus what i previously had? have a good Friday the 13th!

The -F flag just overrides the Signature check. I am sure there is a reason and logic behind the override but it is beyond my limited comprehension of MAKE.

One could spend the rest of their life just learning the intricacies of Make.

Start with the Initialload program.

After two years of having a Nerdkit I still go back to Initialload if I am having problems.
