user16124: I was wondering if its possible to send binary data to an Atmega328p. I don't want to send Arduino code or C code just binary. Is it possible to programme the ATmega328p using binary and how?

user18478: The serial port is binary data.
Because we humans can read text data easier than binary data we mostly send text. This way we only use a very small amount of the possible band with.
The serial monitor translates your input to binary and the binary input of the arduino to text. If you write a program that uses the serialport directly you can communicate in binary without a prolem.
