So after slaving away for days and giving up on multiple occasions I discovered that you can write programs in the Arduino IDE and simply take the .hex file produced and burn it to my plain old atmega8 micro controllers. How awesome is that? This allows the amateur to use all the easy built in libraries of the Arduino software, without springing for full Arduino platforms and having a lot less circuitry so one can use this to go right from prototyping to finished model. Just remember to wire the pins according to this image
Also turns out that after more reading that this process has been a lot better documented since I last tried it. So I may or may not write up a guide and possibly a video in the future.
