I posted this information on the MCS Electric Bascom AVR forum but thought I would post here as well in case others have problems in the future.
I recently purchased a usbtiny programmer to use for programming my AVR projects. Despite following several recommendations that I found on this (MCS) forum, I still had quite a bit of trouble configuring AVRdude as an external programmer. Once I got it working I thought I would document it here in case it helps anyone in the future.
Here's what works for me:
Program: "C:\Program Files\WinAVR-20081205\bin\avrdude.exe"
Parameter: -cusbtiny -pm168 -B1 -Uflash:w:"{FILE}":a
I believe my problem had to do with spaces in the file path. The change that finally got everything working correctly was the quotation marks around {FILE}. The -B1 parameter sets the maximum programming speed so, if you are running a slower speed clock, you may need to modify this parameter.
The only thing that would make this even better would be a {CHIP} configuration parameter similar to the {FILE} configuration parameter as mentioned previously on this forum by someone else.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
