Example sketch

Sample Sketch to read temperature on analog port 0 (ADC0):

 float kty(unsigned int port) {
         float temp              = 82;
         ADCSRA = 0x00;
         ADCSRA = (1<<ADEN)|(1<<ADPS2)|(1<<ADPS1)|(1<<ADPS0);
         ADMUX = 0x00;
         ADMUX = (1<<REFS0);
         ADMUX |= port;   

         for (int i=0;i<=64;i++)
         {
                 ADCSRA|=(1<<ADSC);
                 while (ADCSRA & (1<<ADSC));
                 temp += (ADCL + ADCH*256);
         }

         temp /= 101;
         temp -= 156;
       return (temp);
 }

 float read_temp = kty(0);
 print(read_temp);
