Hey guys, I found a microcontroller, I was just wondering, how do I go about programming it. I recently built a programmer with an icsp port, but I have no controller now so I figured I'd grab one from some appliance to start playing around with programming.
The microcontroller I found was located inside a CD Clock Radio, its one of those "chip on board" things on a pcb which is then soldered onto another pcb. It has 40 connections, no pins since its just soldered directly on top of the board. The spacing between the connections is much less so this thing is much smaller than the average 40 pin microcontroller. The connections go out to the LCD and to a crystal and some other components thats how I figured it would be a microcontroller. Now how do I know what connections go to what on my programmer to start programming?
