I was responsible for programming the Atmel ATmega48 in an embedded system responsible for controlling oilfield equipment. Although this was around the same time the arduino was introduced we were not using it, it had yet to gain the respect of serious engineers and we implemented our own in house solution. Eventually the project outgrew the ATmega48 and we moved up through the 88, 168, and ended on the ATmega328 (like the current arduino). Although I am familiar with the Arduino IDE, and I even have some github projects in it, the entire above project was written in straight C with just a Makefile up top for all my needs. I still have a deep love of getting Makefiles to do simple tasks.
