A blog post about how to use a chip called a Bumble-b. Its an AVR chip. And the post is for new people that want to get in to electronics.

[GuySoft] sent in this project. He doesn't normally mess with electronics, but decided to give it a try. He chose a fairly complicated project to be his first, but seems extremely comfortable with it. This project was to control his R/C car with a pic16f84. That chip was chosen simply because it was the only one available at local stores. Though we've seen much more complicated projects in the past, he does a great job of showing exactly what has been done. He shares his thoughts and source code with us as well. He has express a little frustration about the closed source compiler he was using, so if anyone has any suggestions for him, he would probably appreciate it. The funny part is that he mentions that people would just tell him to "get an AVR". We think the readers here will probably be happy with how he pulled it off.

A very silly and amusing project about how to connect a remote controlled car to a programmable PIC chip. Also with howto
