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)
