How-To: Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects

If you have a simple Arduino project that uses only a few pins, you might be able to shrink it down to a single 8-pin ATtiny chip. In this video, Matt Richardson shows you how, based on a tutorial from MIT Media Lab’s High-Low Tech Group. The best part is you can use the same Arduino code and development environment that you’re already used to.

    @DarkRaven118666 Go? straight to the mega, either mega would do.
    It offers the best of all worlds, and you won’t be limited by pins.
    The mega’s have tons of pins to tinker with.
