3. Getting Started in Windows

This section explains how to get started with the Pololu AVR Library in Windows.

Section 3.a explains how to set up the AVR programming environment for Windows, including AVR Studio and the Pololu AVR Library.

Section 3.b explains how to install the AVR Library from a .zip file in case you want to use an older version of the library.

Section 3.c explains how to compile a simple example program.

You can then find more ready-to-run example programs in the examples directory of the library download: libpololu-avr\examples. The examples are preconfigured for the various devices supported by this library, so you should use the appropriate ones for your particular device. Some of the examples are discussed in more detail in Section 6, which also contains a functional overview of the library.

For information on using the Pololu AVR library in your own programs, please see Section 7.
