Does not support attiny85-based Arduino compatibles #6

This project uses timer2 (presumably for PWM for IR output in xmitCodeElement), which is not available on the ATTiny85. This means that it will not run on Arduino-compatibles based on the attiny85.

One workaround could be to outsource the IR output to something like the IRRemote library, which does support ATTiny boards.

Specifically, I was trying to run this on this Adafruit Trinket.

The Arduino TV-B-Gone is a port of attiny85 firmware made by Adafruit, you may want to take a look at this https://learn.adafruit.com/tv-b-gone-kit

I would add that I also have this issue. I was hoping to make a miniature version of this project on an ATTiny 85 or 84 as well. However, I'm not familiar enough with peripherals or fixing the PROGMEM changes in the older code to do this myself...
