    Listen, I have a problem, I`ve been looking for some time and I can`t find a clear answer - namely:
    I want to know exactly what I should pull up the AREF and AVCC pins to, through what and to what value since I have set the ADC reference in the Bascom as internal 2.56[V].
    From what I have established so far, I conclude that AVCC is a 10uH choke for the power supply and AREF is probably a capacitor for ground.
    Please help

    You concluded correctly. Details are in the processor catalog notes.

    Yes, a 100nF capacitor between AREF and GND.
    AVCC by 10uH to VCC.

    This is a simple and effective way of filtering voltages, which improves the accuracy of measurements. Although in the case of ATMEGA CPUs they are never overwhelming ;-)

    Listen, after connecting the system, can I use a meter to measure how much my supposed internal 2.56 AREF actually has?

    Judging by this diagram, it is on the AREF pin:

    Yes, that is why when turning on the internal 2.56V source, you must not connect anything to Aref because there is a short circuit.

    But if you use a stabilizer, it is better to connect AREF to the uC power supply and set it to external. The internal voltage likes to oscillate more than after the worst stabilizer.

    Part of the cure for this is sleep mode ADC noise reduction .

    Why, my friend ;) .... setting the reference voltage to extrenal is done without the need to connect it to AREF if it is to be VCC. This is definitely safer - especially if you accidentally switch to 2.56 internal. So AREF should still be connected via 100nF to GND.

    Once in place, an external, specialized reference source with values other than internal or VCC is connected to AREF.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting the AREF and AVCC pins on the ATmega microcontroller while using the internal 2.56V ADC reference. Users confirm that a 100nF capacitor should be placed between AREF and GND, and AVCC should be connected through a 10uH choke to VCC for effective voltage filtering. Caution is advised against connecting anything to AREF when the internal reference is enabled to avoid short circuits. It is suggested that for improved stability, AREF can be connected to the microcontroller's power supply when using an external reference. Additionally, using sleep mode can help reduce ADC noise.
