Hey guys, I've fixed after struggling for about 30 minutes. I made 2 mistakes: 1, I forgot to GROUND breadboard 25 ! I'd like to comment to the next version of Nerdkits manual that this part needs to be highlighted! 2, the COM port actually keeps changing once you unplug then plug it back into the PC. make sure that you get the correct COM port# !

A great hint is that, once your kit is in programmable mode, you should see 2 dark blocks just in front of the "Congratulations!".

avrdude done. Thank you.

So I'm assuming you got it to work.
