I got this HobbyKing X-CAR power system for an RC car a while back(2-3 years), being poor quality the speed controller blew up and I was left with a motor and this programmer.. just recently getting in to micro controllers and electronics projects I stumbled upon the programming card in a box of my old stuff, thinking to my self "wait if this can program the chip on a speed controller.. maybe I can program it to program other chips?" (like maybe just flash the bootloader on to a blank Atmel..) so I took it apart and low and behold there is an Atmel ATMEGA32 with only some pins used! I found this rather cool and thought I would share in case any one else may have one of these laying around, as well as if any one has some ideas of what I could do with this nifty little box.. (pics below, will have pics of the inside when phone is charged
)
