Hi!

I want to use 128kHz on my ATTiny861 to lower the power consumption. Whats the best way to do that? Using watchdog osc, set fuses, or using prescale one the µController.

t861 is a modern AVR with a CLKPR register so wouldn't that be the obvious way to throttle the clock - dynamically even - crank it up when you need it - wind it back when you don't.
