Each MCU can be accompanied by sensors (e.g. for temperature, humidity etc). + +## Why AVR AtTiny 84/85 (8-bit-Controllers)? + +* available in DIP packages which can easily be soldered on boards or just be used to develop circuits on breadboards. +* powerfull enough to handle modern sensors (temperature, humidity etc.) +* cheap and small +* many ressources available for development +* free compilers and assemblers
