Code Examples
### Example 1: Blinking LED using ATmega32
In this example, we will use the ATmega32 to blink an LED connected to Pin 13 (PB5) using the internal clock.
```c
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>
#define LED_PIN (1 << PB5)
int main(void) {
    // Set Pin 13 (PB5) as output
    DDRB |= LED_PIN;
while (1) {
        // Toggle LED state
        PORTB ^= LED_PIN;
// Wait for 100 ms
        _delay_ms(100);
    }
return 0;
}
```
### Example 2: UART Communication using ATmega32
In this example, we will use the ATmega32 to send a string "Hello, World!" over the UART interface at a baud rate of 9600.
```c
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <avr/interrupt.h>
#include <avr/sleep.h>
#include <string.h>
#define F_CPU 16000000UL
#define BAUD_RATE 9600
#define UART_BAUD_CALC(((F_CPU / 16) / BAUD_RATE) - 1)
int main(void) {
    // Set UART baud rate
    UBRRH = (UART_BAUD_CALC >> 8);
    UBRRL = UART_BAUD_CALC;
// Enable UART transmitter
    UCSRB = (1 << TXEN);
char message[] = "Hello, World!
";
while (1) {
        // Send string over UART
        for (uint8_t i = 0; i < strlen(message); i++) {
            while (!(UCSRA & (1 << UDRE)));
            UDR = message[i];
        }
// Wait for 1 second
        _delay_ms(1000);

```
These examples demonstrate the basic usage of the ATmega32 microcontroller. The first example shows how to use the ATmega32 to control an LED, while the second example demonstrates UART communication.
Note: These code examples assume that the ATmega32 is being used with the AVR-GCC compiler and the avr-libc library.
