Installation procedure

• clone or download repository
• use Arduino IDE >= 1.8.7
• set "Sketchbook location" to /Sketch (Arduino IDE Menu: File->Preferences) - this is necessary to find the libraries
• install the library u8g2 (Menu: Sketch->Include library->Manage libraries)
• for arduino due and/or zero install the board (Menu: Tools->Board: xxx->Boards Manager...)
• open sketch - MiniCNC, MaxiCNC, ...
• configure machine (see: configuration.h)
• select Arduino (Uno, Due, ...) and USB port
• download sketch
• configure machine (EEprom) using CNCLib (https://github.com/aiten/CNCLib)
