Hi, persianpars:

Have you ever programmed an AVR ATmega? It's somewhat tricky, specially using serial and i/o ports. CM-5 is basically an ATMega 128 microcontroller.

I hope this post and this page could help you start, both have links to several other pages where you can find a lot of info.

By the way, what do you want to do?
