Setting Up for Teensy Programming

• Download and install version 1.8.13 of the Arduino Integrated Development Environment:
  • Windows (it is safe to to take the default options during the install)
  • OS X
  • Linux

• Download and install Teensyduino 1.53:
  • All OSes
  • Execute the installer and extract into your arduino-1.8.10 directory (folder)

• Configuration
  • Start Arduino
  • Tools menu:
    • Board: Teensy 3.5

      Note: if you do not see this option, then Teensyduino has not been installed in the correct location.

    • USB type: Serial
    • CPU Speed: 120 MHz
  • You are good to go...

• Programming
  • Write a small program (make sure to include the setup() and loop() functions):

    

  • Compile your program by pressing the checkmark button in the upper left corner:

    

  • Your compiler output (including any errors and warnings) will appear in the bottom window:

    

  • If there are no errors (and there should be no warnings), then make sure your Teensy is plugged into your laptop and press the download button (also in the upper left corner):

    

  • Once your program is downloaded, the Teensy will reboot and start executing your code.
