I picked up an AVR standalone Chip Programmer.
i have assembled it according to the following:
http://learn.adafruit.com/standalone-av ... r/assembly
Included with the "kit" is an ATMEGA328P-PU
I was able to successfully upload both the Adafruit git sample, and the community submitted sample.
Tested IDE 1.0.1, 1.0.5 and 1.5.5. All showed the same error:
Code: Select all

Is this a problem with the ATMEL chips that are being sent with the AVR? Or did I maybe miss something during the design?
i am looking to take the blank chip from Adafruit, place it in an Uno and try to burn a bootloader that way. But i dont have any tools to pop-out chips from the UNO safely, so it will need to wait for a future date.
Would love suggestions,
Thanks
