3.1.1.1 Creating the MPLAB X Project

  1. Create a new stand-alone project (see Create New Project) in MPLAB X using the ATmega4808 as the device (see Selecting a Device); the PKOB nano as a programming tool (see Selecting a Programmer); and the XC8 or AVR GCC as a compiler (see Selecting a Compiler). Finally, name the MPLAB project and its location (see Naming a New Project). The Start page of MPLAB X will then appear.
  2. On the MPLAB X toolbar, look for and click the MPLAB®\ Code Configurator (MCC) Icon (
    ) or click Tools > Embedded > MPLAB X Code Configurator v3 Open/Close. For assistance with installation, refer to MPLAB ® Code Configurator Page (www.microchip.com/mplab/mplab-code-configurator)
  3. Under Device Resources, scroll down to the Internet of Things header. Under Examples, double click on AVR-IoT AWS Sensor Node (see MCC Start Page).
