Flying Electron Application Note 0500
Creating a New C Project in Atmel AVR Studio 4
Background
In this application note, we will be demonstrating how to create and compile a new C project using the Atmel
AVR Studio 4 application. In this demonstration we will be targeting the project for the Atmel AtMega168
microcontroller as used in the Flying Electron FE_M168 development board. This application note can also be
used as a reference for creating projects targetting other Atmel AVR microcontrollers by choosing a different
microcontroller model during the device targetting step.
Software Needed
- Atmel AVR Studio 4
- WinAVR
