# U8g2 Install Instructions for Atmel Studio 7

This is a step by step instruction for use of U8g2 with Atmel Studio 7.

## Open Atmel Studio 7

![001](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olikraus/u8g2/master/sys/avr/as7/as7_001.png)

## Create Solution
* Create a new gcc c executable project
* Enter a project "Name" 
* Enter a "Solution Name"

![002](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olikraus/u8g2/master/sys/avr/as7/as7_002.png)

## Select Target Device

## Assign main.c

A template main.c will be created as part of the new solution.
Replace the content of this main.c with the content from here:

https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/blob/master/sys/avr/as7/main.c

This example code is valid for a SPI display and will implement 
software emulated SPI.

* Change the pin numbers according to your project
* Change the setup procedure according to your display (select from here https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2setupc)
