I remember programming the Atmel ATmega8-16PU at university in C with AVR Studio (that was before Raspberry PI). We had a team project where we had to build a Morse code receiver and decoder from scratch (circuit board and everything); our device had to intercept Morse code from radio waves on a certain frequency and output the message on a standard computer in human-readable ASCII text via a serial port. My team was one of the best and our device was able to intercept and decode the message. It's amazing what 3 people with complimentary skill sets can do from scratch. It's a really good chip too I have to say.
