So, it means the fluctuations in milli-volt in the sample reading I have
given is accepatable. Is that?

Sample reading: 2989,2988,2987,2986,2989,2985,2989,2986,2984..

Thanks--
Madhu

Agreed with Michael; the values are consistent and only move around by
a few millivolts even based on load, that is good.  A simple LED that
is on, as opposed to off, can affect the voltage read by the
microcontroller.
