So I’ve always put small 100nF caps on AVCC and AREF when I need to do analog to digital conversions on my atmel chips. Everything worked, but I just got an LCD working and I’m getting a ~15% error between what my meter and the A2D are claiming the voltage is. If I remove the cap on either AVCC or A…
