I want to make turn signals for my rc car and I am getting interested in Atmel microcontrollers. do you have any advice on how to program or what to focus on. I mean in the beginning I thought it would be done by ADC in atmega16 but then the signal out of the receiver was weird so now as you mentioned PWM. now I think I should focus on PWM and fight a bit. what do you say?
@5h44my - Take a look at my RC Servo Processor project to see how you can use/modify the PWM output from an RC receiver. You could use exactly the same principle for controlling lights and other add-ons. The output from RC receivers is a PWM signal so you need to use a capture/compare module rather than an ADC.
This is brilliant!
I will look forward to making one of these myself when I get the budget.

great.....

@5h44my -You might want to look into the Arduino system.
