Whether you are familiar with beginner microcontroller platforms or not, this tutorial will get you up and running with the Teensy! The Teensy is a microcontroller platform that can leverage the simple to use interface of the Arduino IDE along with its many libraries. In short, it is dead simple to use for anyone wanting to get started with electronics!
The goal of this video is to provide a bare bones setup so that you can easily follow along with my projects utilizing the Teensy.

Hi everyone, I have not been very active on TH-cam, I apologize. I can't believe it is already 2+ years since making this video. Content creation stopped suddenly as someone had fallen ill in my immediate family and eventually passed away (pre-covid). Ever since then, I haven't made many videos. Though I have been getting into the swing of things and am considering to starting an educational series with the teensy. Basically create a walkthrough of programming and building an arcade stick for PC with it.
Yeah I'm also in the process of making a x input arcade stick. Problem is I know very little code so it would be really helpful if you made a similar video.
That would be super helpful! I just ordered a teensy and four sharp IR sensors to recreate an arcade controller (Dance Maniax) and am having a hard time finding resources as to how I should connect each one to the teensy board. Is there a good online reference for something like this?
@@Casuallynoted Sorry for the late reply! Honestly, searching online is your best bet. It's funny, I opened a business for arcade controller parts. Maybe if you go on mine and similar Discord servers, you might find like minded people and get an answer. discord.gg/dNSgxEY
Just the video I was looking for. Simple and straight to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Just getting into Teensy’s, and this was exactly what I needed!
Wow! you are a natural born teacher! all the right details and very simple too. Thank you now I know that my first 3.2 board was toasted.
Great video! Very easy to understand and you have a clear english to help others speaking languages to make it easier.
Thank you!
Thankyou I'm just getting started with microcontrollers and I was wondering about the teensy. I think you've just made my mind up. Liked and subscribed
Glad you liked the video!
Great video.
The way you are explaining is just amazing.
Thanks that video was a great help.
Very informative. I'm planning to buy my first teensy tomorrow.
Great! Let me know when you start playing with. In two more videos, I'll be showing teensy code on making a remote starter for a car.
@BlahMadal I know. 600MHz is crazy!
Thanks good start
Thank you 😀
Good intro. One thing to watch out for... It's surprisingly easy to insert the micro USB the wrong way up. So if you don't get a blinking light, double check the cable is the right way up. Caught me out when I started.
😁 love you Joe!
TheChocolateDonut thanks buddy, here is some love right back at ya❤️
6:08 to specify for anyone watching in 2021, when he said "and it's brand new" he was probably referring to the fact that used teensy microcontrollers may have another program installed on them, so it not blinking *if it's used* doesn't necessarily mean it's broken! it could just mean its current program doesn't involve blinking lights, so if you got yours used, try installing a program and seeing if it works before replacing it
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIES. AND LETS MAKE A SELF BALANCING ROBOT.
JCDI Thanks for this tutorial my friend. Can this controller output HID stuff? I'd like to make a single or double keyboard button.
Yes you definitely can. It can do keyboard stuff really easily.
i have a nextion display with the io adapter connected to the pins of the teensy 4.0 (ground is shared between the teensy and the nextion). The output level of the nextion adapter is 3.3v so i can directly wire them to the teensy pins. when i press a button on the nextion i set an output to high and when i release the button the output gets low. When the output gets low, i can turn an led on with the teensy but when the output is low the input of the teensy stays high, even though i have the input set to input_pullup. i already tried input_pulldown but its the same. Do you know what i could be doing wrong?
great video for beginner like me, hey i have a question are we still can use the serial monitor if we use teensy?
thanks i hope you answer this question
From what I remember, I think so. I remember never NOT working. Actually here is a link of it working on the maker's site: www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_serial.html
I have a Moonlander keyboard- does anyone know what type of Teensy I should buy?
Yes the best
RIght now (Oct 2022) , I can't find any buyer who has Teensy 4+ in their stock. That's so sad.
Can you show us a simple program? Also could you tell me how I can find someone that would do programming for me if I can't get the hang of this?
we can unlock the macbook with that?
So, can you make a game controller with that teensy?
For some reason when I press the button the blinking stops but the code does not upload.
edit:
Nevermind it turns out that some microusb cables do not work with the teensy lc, so i had to switch it.
Huh didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
Thx a lot!
I tryed 5 until one worked :,D
Do you use the arduino download for raspberry pi too
Could you show me where I can connect a motion sensor on that board? Have you got an email add?
Can you use the Teensy LC for a usb controller with 2 analogue joysyticks, ABXY, LB, RB, LT, RT, D-Pad, start and select?
Absolutely! In fact PRJC has an awesome tutorial on how to do this with some example code. I will post the link for convenience here: www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_joystick.html
JoeCanDoIt is it posible to use that code and also add a mouse function?, I want to make a gamepad that also has a small blackberry trackball, there's this blackberry track-ball breakout-board that I want to include in the gamepad. But I don't know anything about coding or working with teensy boards or arduinos.
@@little3rddegreeburns yes absolutely
do you get the usb cable with it?
Nope I had to get it separately
I purchased a teensy 3.2. I installed the Arduino ok. However, whenever I try and install the /arduino I get this.
Checking Arduino 1.8.5:
version: "lib/version.txt" wrong version: 1.0.6 Does not match Arduino 1.8.5
Checking Arduino 1.8.9:
version: "lib/version.txt" wrong version: 1.0.6 Does not match Arduino 1.8.9
Can anyone please help me?
dude im having the same problem, did you fix it?
@@butters2160 Sorry for the late reply. No i never fixed it. I got a Zergotech and its fantastic. I can swap keys etc easy.
Sold my Moonlander
@@peterlambert5130 just read the error... you are using the wrong version of the ide
My teensy 3.2 won't boot up with 5V power supply
Are you powering it at the VIN pin and gnd? Or are you just using the USB port?
@@joecandoit5341 Yes. I don't know why my ground isn't working. Aground is working. Thanks
@@TechNight odd. I would suggest throwing this up in the prjc forums for further troubleshooting.
its crazy how powerful this is for 12 bucks...
I know and to think the basic stamp 2 is still fifty bucks!
Teensy is not cheap
Good vid, but made me laugh you showing how to plug in a usb cable. Come on if someone is buying a Teensy I expect them to be able to figure that out. If they couldn't figure out a usb connection they don't have much hope of programming a Teensy
