Obviously my opinion about whether you should use a Teensy is biased, but in terms of technical accuracy, well, I do know the details!įirst, Teensy definitely does work with the Arduino IDE when you install the Teensyduino add-on package. On the other hand, don't let all of that discourage your from using the Teensy if it meets your needs - the Teensy platform looks well-designed for many applications where the Arduino would be too large or bulky.

Open development model: All of the Arduino hardware, firmware, and software are available with Open licenses that allow you to modify, enhance, and distribute your changes without fear of legal reprisals.Different versions of Teensy use different physical forms and pinouts. Even the Arduino Mega can use shields designed for the earliest Arduinos. Those lists are necessarily incomplete, because there are developers actively developing new boards continuously. You can see lists of those boards here, here, and here. Standardized physical form-factor: The consistent Arduino form-factor allows people to develop processor and extension boards (shields) that can be shared and reused.(You can use those tools to develop with Teensy, but they aren't supported and have limitations). Arduino then adds the Arduino IDE, sketches, and other libraries that make getting started faster and simpler. Easier Development Tools: Out of the box, both the Teensy and Arduino depend upon GCC and AVR-Libc.Arduinos offer many power options (USB, battery, wall-wart, etc) on-board. Therefore whatever you build around it will need to be plugged into a USB port (and most likely, a computer) if you want/need more power, you'll have to design and build your own power circuits. Standalone operation: The Teensy can only be powered by the USB port.Here are some other advantages that the Arduino has over the Teensy:

The Teensy developers have done their own comparison with the Arduino, from which I'll quote: That said, from the specifications, it looks like a nicely designed piece of hardware.
