Using Arduino Uno R3 to bootload the atmega328-PU (non pico)

hi everybody,

i have purchased arduino uno r3 in south africa , don't have stores sell isp programmer, , make things worse no sparkfun or adafruit products sold in city don't have many options (not helpful know).

now here's dilemma, constructing 2 barebones arduino's based on rbbb (really bare bones board) design (which don't here either resorted constructing them myself). hold of blank atmega328-pu chips not pico power version!

so in desperate need of bootloading these chips uno bootloader, aware (after reading through forums) of fact signatures atmega328-pu , atmega328p-pu different. have followed several tutorials using arduino isp programmer no success. followed tutorial http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11635 hoping work atmega328-pu assuming works atmega328p-pu chip.

i tried altering avrdude.conf , boards.txt suggested in thread http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=58670.0:

avrdude.conf

i proceeded unzip , upload sketch: atmega_board_programmer.zip uno r3 (the programmer), found in tutorial http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11635, hooked pins shown in image (programming rbb (really bare bones board)).



i built , wired simplified breadboarded version setup of choice seen below:



then in arduino 1.0.2, selected tools->board->arduino uno w/ atmega328 (non-p), next selected serial port uno r3 connected , selected programmer arduino isp , tried burn bootloader received following error:

code: [select]


avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00


so checking through code atmega_board_programmer sketch, don't see support atmega328-pu


i tried arduinoisp sketch , followed tutorial here: http://arduino.cc/en/tutorial/arduinotobreadboard knowing should using arduino duemilanove or nano w/ atmega328, gave bash anyway selecting tools->board->arduino uno w/ atmega328 (non-p), setting serial port uno r3 , selecting programmer arduino isp, tried burn bootloader , received following error:

code: [select]


avrdude.exe: stk500_program_enable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x50
avrdude.exe: initialization failed, rc=-1;
                   double check connections , try again, or use -f ...
avrdude.exe: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51


i really new of , learn, , attempts bootload breadboarded atmega328-pu, guess have figured out chip cannot bootloaded these methods (but hope can done, be  doing wrong).

can please explain how bootload atmega328-pu (non-p)  using uno r3 isp or point me sketch support atmega328-pu using uno r3. have been reading forums , other sites days , getting fast.

regards
grant

you seem combining couple of approaches here. programmer sketch should work, possibly signature different, easy change.

if connect boards per photo above, should able upload atmega_board_programmer sketch uno. use serial monitor "talk" uno. should see signature, , offer upload bootloader if recognized.

can please post see in serial monitor when that?
