Anyone know what chipping your ecu technically does? (searched)
I found nothing technically written. What does the atmel chip do? Why the atmel chip and not another chip. What happens when you burn the chip? I've heard the capacitors filter out noise. Are they filtering out certain frequencies? Why do they filter the frequencies. How does you ecu read the chip? Thanks a bunch. I couldn't find any straight technical info about it other than. Burn da chip in da socket. oopps i melted da PCB. omg im fucked...blah blah blah 
Also, I can also understand quite a bit of electronics so most prolly won't be WAY over my head.

To answer some of your questions:
The chip is a ROM or Read Only Memory chip. It stores you fuel and timing maps as well as the other information needed to make your car run.
Why Atmel? not sure, I suppose cause they're available, cheap and they fit the criteria needed for our needs (28 pin, data transfer speed, etc)
"Burning" a chip is what people call it when you copy a program to a writeable/rewriteable ROM chip.
The capacitors filter out electrical "noise" which is a result of magnetic interference generated by electrical components in the car. Things like the radio, and ignition give off electrical noise and the caps filter them out so that the data flow in the ECU isn't affected. Some people say the caps aren't needed, but better o be safe then sorry.
