In this project I’m going to show you how to get started with Teensy.
Thanks to Paul from PJRC.com for sending me the Teensy 3.0. This is by far the best Arduino alternative out there.
I’ve made a video where I go into some of the specifications of this board and I also show how to create a blink LED project with Teensy in less than 4 minutes.

These look cute, and the touch pins are interesting. But, check out the collection of Moteinos. Some with built-in wireless. GREAT support forum.

Thanks for sharing, I’ve never seen that board before. It looks awesome!
By the way PJRC.com also offer a great forum support for what I’ve read so far.
Hi Rui Santos!
I´m from Brazil and I like very much your projects and videos.
I have a doubt: what are the main differences between Teensys boards and Arduino Micro/Nano boards?
Bye!
Hi Afonso!
thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
The Teensy uses a 32 bit ARM Cortex-M4 48 MHz.
The teensy has more memory than an Arduino micro/nano
It also has an awesome feature of having 3 UART’s which allows you to establish 3 serial communications at the same time.
Those are the main advantages!
Have a nice day.
