Programming your Teensy board

Programming the Teensy 3.2 / 3.6 through the Arduino IDE:

You'll need to follow the steps here first before you can flash through the arduino IDE.

Once the IDE is setup, flashing the teensy is very straight forwards:

1. Choose the com port your teensy is on from the IDE menus.

2. Click upload.

Programming the Teensy 3.2 / 3.6 through the EZ flasher:

1. You probably do not need to install any drivers for the teensy if you are running more modern Windows 10 machines, but if the teensy when plugged in does not show up in the device manager under COM ports, install arduino IDE and then Teensyduino. This should get your computer's drivers setup if they aren't already.

2. Next, download the EZ_FLASH_Teensy.zip file and extract the folder inside to a place on your computer.

3. Plug your Teensy into your computer via usb, and as mentioned in step 1 verify that it shows up in the com list of your device manager. Make sure it is the only serial item listed under COMs, otherwise there's no guarantee the correct Teensy will be flashed.

4. Run the teensy.exe file, this should open a small flasher utility built for the teensy.

5. Go to File -> Open Hex file, and open the file called PxlNode_TEENSY_32_Sketch_1.0.hex if you are programming a 3.2, or for the 3.6 locate the file called PxlNode_TEENSY_36_Sketch_1.0.hex. These should all be located in the same directory.

6. Now push the small white button on the teensy to manually enter program mode. The flasher should then flash the teensy, the teensy will restart, and any leds connected will fade on to the warm yellow default color.
