title: Programming ATTiny with Arduino Mega 2560
body: <p>For the past few days, I have been trying unsuccessfully to program an ATTiny45 AVR using an Arduino Mega 2560 as the ISP. All of the tutorials I have seen for using the Arduino as an ISP use the Uno and the Duemilanove. None of them mention the Mega2560. </p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if something in the wiring or programming needed to be changed when using the Mega2560. For example, is a capacitor used between reset and ground? Or should a resistor connect reset to 5V? Before I go on forums and start posting my specific error messages, I thought I would check to see if the problem was a simple difference between Uno/Duemilanove and Mega2560 setup.</p>
