Programming the Teensy

[ror100]

Hey all,

I'm way behind, so apologies if I ask a repeated question.

I've wired up my control board to my Teensy LC today, but I'm not sure the programming is working. I have a USB cable from PC to Teensy, and the orange light on the Teensy is flashing. Running the Arduino update says that the upload is done, but I then get a message in orange saying 'Teensy did not respond to a USB-based request to automanically reboot. Please press the PROGRAM MODE BUTTON on your Teensy to upload your sketch'

Anything to worry about? I have no way of checking my soldering just yet....

There is a little button on the Teensy LC which you have to press when the message tells you to do
After that the programm should be uploaded to the Teensy and you can test it with any text editor.

Sorry, forgot to say I am pressing the button.

I get nothing in a text editor, and windows makes me think that pressing the button is disconnecting the USB connection? I have nothing showing up to say that a USB device is connected.

Checking the continuity of my soldering gives me positive results for all buttons, so I think the issue lies in the programming aspect - its simply not doing what it should?

I had a few problems with connection also , make sure you follow the instructions on here : https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html
version numbers of supported Arduino are important! Make sure you have the correct Arduino version installed.

Followed to the letter and still no good. Using Arduino 1.6.8 and Teensyduino1.29

I don't get this at all...

[drlbradley]

I'm on 1.2.9 beta2

try that

Nothing, i'm wondering if its some curio buried in USB and Windows 10. Giving up for tonight, I didnt think the programming would be the difficult part of this build

Did you choose Teensy LC in Arduino IDE?
Did you choose Keyboard + Gamepad?
Which programmer did you use?
What port?

You just have to push the button a second or so, then wait.
If it does not work, do it again. Then unplug, replug and only upload, no verify.

also, try a different USB cable.. the first one I tried wouldnt work

I can say yes to the first 2 questions there.

Which programmer? I have no idea - sorry, I am using the file Wermy linked in guide 2.
Port is greyed out for me as 'emulated serial'
