WE ARE USING ATMEGA8L FOR PROGRAMMING ON READY MADE PCB.
WE ARE GETTING AN ERROR WHILE LOADING THE PROGRAM AS :


> "make.exe" program
avrdude -p atmega8 -P com1 -c ponyser -U

flash:w:main.hex

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


avrdude done. Thank you.

make.exe: *** [program] Error 1

> Process Exit Code: 2
> Time Taken: 00:01

WE HAVE BEEN DEALIN WITH THE FUSE AND OTHER SETTINGS TO RUN THE PROGRAM 
BUT ALL IN VEIN!

POWER SUPPLY
