Folks, I'd appreciate a little help with my project. This is my first attempt to use the ADC on the ATtiny85. Eventually, the project will evolve, but at the moment, it is a stripped-to-the-bones attempt to get a result from the ADC.
My sketch is below. The intention of the sketch is to get a voltage from a pot and light one of three LEDs, depending on whether the pot is in the lower third, middle- or upper third of its travel. It appears to work in AS7 (by writing the "pot" value into the ASC register after the conversion), but when I put it on a chip, it lights one LED, and moving the pot does not cause it to light a different LED. If I power it off, turn the pot, then power it on, the correct LED comes on, but that one stays on, and turning the pot does not change the LED on the fly.
The sketch is below.
There are a few lines to set up the ADC. These poke individual bits so I could play with them individually to see what they do.
The intention is ...
Set up the ADC
convert: ; get pot reading into R16
call light_led
call delay
rjmp convert
light_led:
This function works. Given a value in R16, it discovers what third of (0...255) R16 is in, and lights the appropriate LED.
delay:
This function also works, and delays about a second.

There's obviously something about the ADC I have not understood. Can somebody please explain what I'm missing?
