Use ATtiny chip #19

"In order to use Attiny chips you really need to provide a custom Arduino installer or force users to install a patch to their IDE which is not a good user experience." - Ihsan

I agree, that would be a bad experience. Let's give priority to using the most appropriate chip and have Arduino IDE compatibility be a nice-to-he feature.

We'll have to have a thermocouple lookup table. I hope there is enough room.

We can offload any LUT mapping and conversions features to computer side software. We won't be operating this device in stand-alone mode anyway. Device should only be responsible of taking strict timestamped measurements and sending the raw measurement values to the computer.

I agree. That should allow us to keep the cost down.

T100 electronics version 0.1 uses the ATtiny85 chip.
