        // Set pin PB0 high (turn on the LED)
        PORTB |= (1 << PB0);
        _delay_ms(500);
// Set pin PB0 low (turn off the LED)
        PORTB &= ~(1 << PB0);

#define ADC_VREF 2.56 // Vref (volts)
int main(void) {
    // Initialize ADC
    ADMUX = (1 << REFS0) | (1 << REFS1); // Vref = 2.56V
    ADCSRA = (1 << ADEN) | (1 << ADPS2) | (1 << ADPS1); // Enable ADC, prescaler = 64
while (1) {
        // Start ADC conversion
        ADCSRA |= (1 << ADSC);
// Wait for conversion to complete
        while (ADCSRA & (1 << ADSC));
// Read ADC value (0-1023)
        uint16_t adc_value = ADC;
// Calculate voltage (0-2.56V)
        float voltage = (adc_value  ADC_VREF) / 1024.0;
// Print or use the voltage value as needed
