I wanted to gain experience in embedded programming at a lower level than Arduino (i.e. pure C & bitbanging). They're dirt cheap and also simple enough that I can read through the whole datasheet and pretty much understand everything.
It's also kind of a fun challenge working within the limitations on both the HW and SW side.
- stavros 5y agoI was intrigued by "dirt cheap" and went to buy a few tens, but they're apparently $2.5 or so each! I can get an ESP8266 for that amount, which has tons more processing power, RAM, space, and has WiFi. I really can't see why I'd use an ATTiny over that, unless the former cost $0.20 or so.
