    Check the connections, all the VCC pins, ground pins and make sure the RESET pin is connected to VCC through a resistor not more than 10 K ohms.

    i checked connection more then an dozen times…………

    when i tried with AVR-Dude ….i got this with (-f)

    avrdude.exe: initialization failed, rc=-1
    avrdude.exe: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions
    avrdude.exe: Device signature = 0x000000
    avrdude.exe: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
    avrdude.exe: Expected signature for ATMEGA16 is 1E 94 03

    avrdude.exe done.  Thank you.

    you have to set fuse bit status to use external crystal. 

    read setting of AVR fuse bits tutorial given on this site

    Dhanushgowda,

    You posted your success on avrfreaks yesterday.

    Gud that you found success at your first steps into programming AVRs.

    Since a new Atmega16A is responding correctly, it appears that the previous micro may be bricked (Wrong fuse bits set) You can retrieve the same by giving it external clock pulse give it a try.

     

     

    Regards

    Use the burner in slow clock mode and first set the fuse bit to FF(low fuse) & C9(high fuse)… :)
