Hello everyone,
I’d like to hear your opinions on Teensy boards. Are they better than Arduino boards in terms of performance, features, or ease of use? For those who have experience with both, what advantages or disadvantages have you noticed?

Teensy boards are incredible, especially for projects that need more power or advanced features. Here’s how they compare to Arduino:
-
Performance:
- Teensy boards (like Teensy 4.1) have significantly more processing power. For example, Teensy 4.1 runs at 600 MHz, compared to Arduino Uno’s 16 MHz.
- They’re great for applications like real-time audio processing, high-speed data acquisition, or complex robotics.
-
Features:
- Teensy supports USB HID devices out of the box, so you can create custom keyboards, MIDI controllers, or gamepads.
- It has more RAM, Flash memory, and better peripherals compared to most Arduino boards.
-
Ease of Use:
- Teensy integrates well with the Arduino IDE via the Teensyduino plugin, so transitioning from Arduino is pretty seamless.
- However, it does require a slightly steeper learning curve if you’re using its advanced features.
If you’re working on high-performance or resource-heavy projects, Teensy is absolutely worth it
