Does anybody use AVRdude software?  I installed it and tried to 
program an ATmega16 using a PPI programmer.  But AVRdude shows the 
following error message: 

  avrdude: AVR device not responding
  avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
           Double check connections and try again, or use -F to   
override
           this check.


I checked all the connections and they seems ok.  Since this is my 
first AVR board I have no clue about the cause of this failure.

Regards,
Jose

So, this is your first use of AVRdude, your Parallel Port Interface 
and the AVR target board. You have not used any of these successfully 
before. Any one of the three could be giving you trouble.

Things *should* work right first time and often do. But, when they 
don't, it is often necessary to narrow down the source of the problem 
by trying each piece in a known-good environment. Do you have access 
to any other programming tools or another target system? Can you 
borrow anything?

Have you read the available documentation for AVRdude?

hi.
one of common problems, ( and simplest) is to check
wether you set parallel port to SPP in setup or not.
if so, (in [INTEGRATED PREFERALS] section) change it
to ECP or EPP.

anyway in these moments, I used to use ponyprog or
Avreal. both are free and ofcourse great.

good luck.
