When you say parallel port, do you actually mean serial port? Or USB perhaps?

Which microcontroller do you have on your RC car?

You really should get a microcontroller . . .

That being said, where in software are you stuck? What have you tried so far?

Whenever asking questions, you need to give as many details as possible! ;D

There is a bunch of information on the net including source code and explanations about the theory behind the source.
