How hard is it to program an ATtiny85 timer to control a Mosfet Powering the arduino ?

Oooooh, I love the idea of turning an ATTiny into a delay monster o_o
a quick google about the ATTiny85 got me:

  • 5µA in sleep (watchdog timer)
  • 3mAh when running

Clearly a VERY low power consumption, I think i'm going to order a few of these and attempt to program them o_o.

Thanks jremington i'm reading =)
