On the web and in manufacturers&#8217; materials, one can find many tutorials, projects and communities related to ATTiny85, which both makes learning and troubleshooting easier and proves that the microcontroller is still quite popular.<\/p>\n<p>Thermometer with temperature sensor such as <a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/cyfrowe-czujniki-temperatury\/165-czujnik-temperatury-ds18b20-cyfrowy-1-wire-tht-5904422366513.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><br \/>\n  <strong>DS18B20<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>?
