user67474: I have a program to load from a Aduino Nano as ISP to a ATMega328p chip that will have an internal clock at 16M, but I don't have a crystal handy.
Is there a way I can not have to buy a crystal? What should be the circuit's look like?
Here's how I have it hooked:

Ground to Ground (Pin 8)
5V to VCC (Pin 7)
D10 to Reset (Pin 1)
D11 to MOSI (Pin 17)
D12 to MISO (Pin 18)
D13 to AVCC (Pin 20) (There are no resistors or capacitors, that all was part of a tutorial I cannot find anymore)

So I'm testing now with the basic Blink sketch and here is the resulting terminal comments.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

From what I've seen online, the device signature being 0x000000 could potentially mean that the lack of crystal may make it impossible for me to do the bootloading. The chip is also brand new and I've tested with more than one as I have 3.
My thought is that I probably read the tutorial wrong especially with the AVCC pin?
In any case, how should I connect a Nano to an ATMega328p without a crystal?
Thanks for your help!

user67474: Alright. After reading some and some more, I was able to notice that SCK, just one pin down from AVCC, was the missing link.
Yet another reminder to properly read the fabulous manual.
It looks so easy now.

67474: <p>I have a program to load from a Aduino Nano as ISP to a ATMega328p chip that will have an internal clock at 16M, but I don't have a crystal handy.</p>
<p>Is there a way I can not have to buy a crystal? What should be the circuit's look like?</p>
<p>Here's how I have it hooked:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ground to Ground (Pin 8)</li>
<li>5V to VCC (Pin 7)</li>
<li>D10 to Reset (Pin 1)</li>
<li>D11 to MOSI (Pin 17)</li>
<li>D12 to MISO (Pin 18)</li>
<li>D13 to AVCC (Pin 20) (There are no resistors or capacitors, that all was part of a tutorial I cannot find anymore)</li>

         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override

avrdude done.  Thank you.

<p>From what I've seen online, the device signature being 0x000000 could potentially mean that the lack of crystal may make it impossible for me to do the bootloading. The chip is also brand new and I've tested with more than one as I have 3.</p>
<p>My thought is that I probably read the tutorial wrong especially with the AVCC pin?</p>
<p>In any case, <strong>how should I connect a Nano to an ATMega328p without a crystal?</strong></p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
 67474: <p>Alright. After reading some and some more, I was able to notice that SCK, just one pin down from AVCC, was the missing link.</p>
<p>Yet another reminder to properly <strong>read the fabulous manual</strong>.</p>
<p>It looks so easy now.</p>
