OOPs there goes my xbee unit in smoke

I guess my radio controlled car as had it`s first real step back today I`ve killed one of my xbee units.

Don`t know why I killed it , not sure if I did a pin mix up in wiring or what, But after a very short time it stopped working and got very hot ( not normally a good sign ).

Oh well, just a little more money down the drain .

Started working on the transmitter, by using my old 27 mhz transmitter and stripping out all the wiring / circuit broad etc , and rewiring it knowing I only want the sticks from it.

Building a test program I`ve found I`m getting about 7-8 bits of resolution from it , which should be o.k to drive the seros.
