As Nadya mentioned after checking my connections, there was some soldering work to do before proceeding with the programming. After spending an hour or so doing that, I started with my first trial with programming. avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK (H:FF, E:DF, L:5E) avrdude done. Thank you. was the answer that I got everytime I tried using make program-usbtiny-fuses and make program-usbtiny in that order. After a few futile attempts, I thought I went back to replacing the resistor to 1Kohm and rechecking my soldering. Still no success.And then I went on to resolder my LED just to check if the orientation was right. Well looks like it was, but I still was getting the same answers and LED was still not blinking. So I thought I would replace my LED. I thinking I heated my LED too much, eventually one of the traces peeled off!. No choice but to re-mill the board.
None of us in the lab knew what exactly was wrong. So I thought I would re-mill my board and do the whole cycle again.
Unofrtuntley something was wrong with th end mill so Sara's board ended up looking like this.
