I'm trying to burn the arduino bootloader onto my ATmega328P so it uses the internal clock. I followed the tutorial in this page but I'm getting this error.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I tried placing a cap from reset to ground but it doesn't wort either.
Any idea on what might be wrong with my procedure?

Thanks

[EDIT]

  • I followed the procedure described at the bottom of the page linked (Minimal Circuit (Eliminating the External Clock)).
  • I used the bootloader in "breadboard-1-6-x.zip"
  • I am using the Arduino IDE v1.8.1

It isn't clear from question+webpage what your procedure is, or what you want to do. What “internal clock” do you mean? The built-in 8 MHz RC oscillator ? If so, please edit question to say so. Also edit question to include a schematic of how you have things hooked up. Do you have a USBasp to program the ATmega328P system, or what? – jwpat7 Feb 16 at 2:54
    
I followed precisely the instructions listed on the link I provided. And yes it is the internal 8MHz RC oscillator – jagjordi Feb 16 at 5:57
    
You could edit the question and say what your programmer is, what fuse settings, which bootloader. Or just let people guess. – jwpat7 Feb 16 at 6:05
    
I though providing a link of the tutorial which answers all of your questions was enough, but I'll edit it out. – jagjordi Feb 16 at 6:08
    
The link describes several different procedures, and I think the details of what all was done aren't clear – jwpat7 Feb 16 at 6:10

If your ATMEGA328P has already been used with a crystal or already has a bootloader on it, then the fuses will be set to expect a crystal oscillator. In this case, you must initially have a crystal & the associated 2 capacitors connected. Once you have succeeded in burning the bootloader (this process also sets the fuses) you can dispense with the crystal.

can I connect the ATmega Cristal pins to the arduino board? – jagjordi 2 days ago
    
According to this, it should be possible to share a crystal (or resonator in the case of most newer Arduino boards) : forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=78584.0 – 6v6gt yesterday
    
I tryed connecting to the board oscillator. Now it gives me this error: – jagjordi yesterday
    
avrdude: Device signature = 0x00ffff avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F Double check chip, or use -F to override this check. – jagjordi yesterday
    
Also the device signature keeps changing every time I try to burn the bootloader. Does this mean the ATmega is broken? – jagjordi yesterday
