Mega-Kewl! (I want a black one, ... anna yellow one. :-) Seriously though, starting with an ATtiny, then running out of code space is _so_ frustrating. Thinking as a hardware designer, it's fair to say "A little 'un will do the job", but the benefit of doing it in firmware is in having design headroom, through adequate codespace. I'm pretty sure that if I did one with the serial link, I couldn't stop myself from adding stuff till an ATmega would be good to have. Oh -oh, checking a datasheet, I am though forced to admit that the ATtiny25 could be substituted with a 45 or even an 85, for 8 kB codespace (4000 instructions). That further forces me to admit that I'm having trouble resisting thoughts of what else could be stuffed into a nifty little programmable extension of the EMC2 host. You're right. An ATtiny is more than adequate, even if(BS)(BS) when we get carried away.
