ATtiny85 is the tiniest MCU I have ever had hands-on. Due to its small size but packed features, it has been a go-to MCU for me for many *tiny* projects where an ATMEGA128 or a 328 will be overkill.
- ATtiny85 is an 8 pin IC
- It has its own clock in it and hence, pretty much self-sufficient for most of the projects
- The size it takes is pretty much equal to four through-hole resistors
- The IC and the 8 pin makes it easy to solder some basic LEDs and sensors even without any solders.
Arduino IDE can be used to program ATtiny85.

for an interesting example as well 🙂
The options to program ATtiny85 is possible and you can use your favourite Arduino Sketch for the same.
