Hello,

I would like to program aTtyni85 with arduina as ISP but i am unable to get it working,

I am using arduino 1.8.5 with a arduino uno ad following these steps : http://www.instructables.com/id/Simplest-and-Cheapest-Arduino/

i can set the arduino as ISP but when i try do program the aTtiny85 i get the following error :

The hardware package you're using to add support for ATtiny85 is outdated. It would be easy enough to upgrade but there's no point since we have a far superior hardware package already available that I recommend you to use instead:

BTW, be very suspicious of anything you find on instructables. They are consistently terrible.
