Teensy 3.0/3.1

Post by Roy64 »

Greetings.

Before I throw down some money, I was curious as to if I could potentially use the Teensy 3.0 with a USB adapter that supports Micro-USB. Will this even change anything in terms of latency or offer an advantage over the 2.0 for a project like this? I was about to click buy and I thought I would ask this first. I have a feeling there will be no difference, although I thought I would ask. If I do get the 2.0 board, is there a specific USB adapter chip that offers the best performance? Or is it negligible?

What about Teensy++ 2.0? What differences will I see? I would suspect the Teensy 2.0 is the most stable though...? Also I take it this will not work with PS2? Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The Teensy 3.0/3.1 are not compatible because they use very different chips.

There is no latency difference between the Teensy 2.0 and the Teensy++ 2.0 (mainly because they run at the same frequency).

GIMX should be able to talk to a PS2 using a Teensy 2.0 (there may be issues as it was not deeply tested).
I'm not providing any firmware for the PS2 at this time.
There is one at http://procrastineering.blogspot.fr/201 ... r-for.html
Note that this option is not available through the GUI, it requires to use the command-line: http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Command_line

Alright, awesome. Thank you so very much!

Is there a specific USB to serial chip that seems to work better than others when using Teensy?

The cheapest ebay one works. It costs 1.50$.
